Jaxon Powell brings blue-collar bite to Ohio State’s young O-line
In the 2026 season, freshman Jaxon Powell is a 6-4, 306-pound offensive lineman at Ohio State who arrives with the kind of sturdy, low-drama profile coaches love: a four-year starter at Northwest, two-way toughness, and All-Ohio honors in both 2024 and 2025. His differentiators are experience, work ethic, and versatility, not flashy stats—he’s built like a road-grader and comes from a program where he also logged tackles, tackles for loss, and sacks on defense. For a team, he looks like a developmental fit with real upside.
