Smaller programs can be beneficial for recruits

Interesting snippet:

Hilliard Darby quarterback Nick Powers won't be under as large of a spotlight when he begins his college career, but what some might consider a letdown doesn't seem like a bad consolation prize to him.

After rushing for a combined 40 touchdowns the last two seasons as the Panthers extended their string of Division I playoff appearances to four, Powers was expected to sign with Ashland University on national signing day Feb. 3.

Although he could have been a preferred walk-on for the Buckeyes, Powers instead will have his education paid for and get the opportunity to further his athletic career as a safety for a respected NCAA Division II program.

"With my athletic and academic money combined, I'll be getting pretty much a full ride," Powers said. "I had six (Division II) offers, some were for quarterback and others were for safety. Ohio State offered me a walk-on for safety as well, but I chose Ashland because I loved the campus, coaches and the football program."
