UAB's One-Year DL Dominator with Elite Gap-Stuffing Intensity
Teko Powell, the 6-3, 270-pound defensive tackle from Miami, is UAB’s final-year gap-stuffer with a rare blend of 270-pound mass and 2-sack explosiveness, making him a high-intensity fit for teams needing run-game disruption. Though ranked No. 625 nationally, his 2023 season stats (19 solo tackles, 2 sacks) reflect elite intensity, not just volume. As an Illinois transfer with one year to dominate, Powell’s personality is defined by relentless drive and a ‘no-excuses’ mindset—traits that outshine his ranking. He’s injury-free, personality-driven, and a perfect short-term fit for teams prioritizing run defense over flashy stats. Why care? He’s the quiet force that stops drives before they start.
