Walk-On Safety with Elite Tackling Intensity and 2 INTs in 2024
Justin Powe, a 6'0", 196-lb sophomore safety for the Troy Trojans, stands out as a former walk-on who earned a full scholarship through relentless intensity and defensive versatility. In the 2024 season, he led with 67 total tackles (38 solo), 4 pass breakups, 1 sack, and 2 interceptions, finishing third on the team in tackles during his 2025 junior year with 76 tackles before missing the Buffalo game due to injury. His differentiators include a 'walk-by-faith' mindset, high-intensity tackling style, and proven ability to start 13 games as a junior. Powe is an ideal fit for teams needing a hard-hitting, intelligent safety who thrives under pressure and brings championship-level grit, not just stats.
