J.P. Powell brings burst, balance, and big-play upside to Georgia Tech's backfield
In the 2025 season, Georgia Tech freshman RB J.P. Powell flashed in limited work, finishing with 5 carries for 72 yards and a touchdown, including a 61-yard run that shows real home-run juice. He entered Georgia Tech as a four-star recruit and one of the nation’s more explosive backs, with recruiting services praising his versatility and athleticism. What makes him interesting isn’t just the stat line — it’s the compact 5'10", 200-pound build, multi-sport speed, and captain-type competitiveness that suggest a runner who can add intensity and pop to a rotation.
