Southern Illinois’s do-it-all ATH brings rare two-way juice
Powell enters Southern Illinois as a true all-purpose difference-maker, coming off a 2024 season in which he piled up 31 catches for 410 receiving yards and 8 receiving touchdowns, added 315 rushing yards and 3 scores, and chipped in 48 tackles, 5 interceptions, a kick-return touchdown, and 3 blocked kicks. That production signals explosive versatility, high football IQ, and real impact in every phase. His biggest appeal is that he can change games as a receiver, runner, defender, and special-teams weapon, making him a strong fit for a staff that values toughness, speed, and matchup flexibility.[1]
