Another Oklahoma player is going to be aiding the Baltimore Ravens in their quest for another Super Bowl.
The Sooners saw Orlando Brown, Mark Andrews and Marquise Brown flourish in the Ravens’ offense in 2019 alongside MVP Lamar Jackson. Baltimore, though, saw 13-year veteran right guard Marshal Yanda retire after season.
Enter former Oklahoma offensive lineman Ben Powers into the picture. The fourth-round selection in the 2019 NFL Draft by the Baltimore Ravens is reportedly set to be Yanda’s replacement moving forward, according to NFL.com’s Nick Shook.
“Ben is one of my best friends and has been since he came to OU,” Brown told Shook. “We started pretty much two or three years together (at Oklahoma). He’s a God-fearing man. He’s someone who works hard. In my opinion, he’s never had an issue getting a job, or winning a job. He’s always done that throughout his career. He’s always been someone that’s always been an underdog or underrated.”
Brown and Powers played right next to each other at left tackle and left guard respectively in the 2017 and ’18 seasons at Oklahoma. The two were a part of the Joe Moore Award winning offensive line unit in college football for the Sooners in 2018.
