EMU QB Turned CFL Rookie Star with Proven Grit
Taylor Powell, the 6'1" Eastern Michigan Eagles QB from Fayetteville, AR, dazzled in high school with a Gatorade Player of the Year nod (2016-17: 237/347 passes, 3,474 yards, 44 TDs) before thriving at EMU and beyond. His differentiator? Relentless intensity and leadership, captaining back-to-back state titles in HS and earning CFL Rookie of the Year with Hamilton Tiger-Cats (2023: 197/292, 2,283 yards, 10 TDs). No major injury flags post-college; he's a mobile, accurate pocket passer with championship pedigree—perfect fit for teams needing a battle-tested, winner-mentality QB upgrade.
