Ty Powell brings Gardner-Webb a fresh, developmental QB with good size and upside
Ty Powell is a 2026 freshman quarterback at Gardner-Webb, listed at 6-foot-3 and 205 pounds from Southeast Raleigh High School, and he joins a QB room that was still sorting itself out heading into the 2026 season. Early public coverage frames him as part of the Bulldogs’ young quarterback mix rather than a proven stat producer yet, so the appeal is projection: size, a usable frame, and room to grow into an FCS starter’s job. If your team wants a long-term build with upside instead of a finished product, Powell is a name worth tracking.
