Antwaun Powell-Ryland Jr. is a sack-artist with production you can’t fake
In the 2024 season, Antwaun Powell-Ryland Jr. was one of Virginia Tech’s most disruptive defenders, finishing with 43 total tackles, 16 sacks, and 3 forced fumbles while earning first-team All-ACC honors and a Dudley Award nod. He’s a high-motor edge/DL who wins with smart, violent hands, a varied rush plan, and relentless effort more than elite length or top-end speed. That combo makes him a strong fit for teams that value production, technique, and toughness over pure traits.
