Rhyder Poppell brings multi-sport athleticism and speed to The Citadel’s outfield picture
Poppell stands out as a high-upside, multi-sport athlete whose calling cards are speed, athleticism, and competitive juice rather than a long public stat trail; Prep Baseball Report highlighted him as a Futures Games standout, including a 4-for-6 outing with three doubles, three RBI, three runs, and two steals, and also noted he posted one of the fastest 60-yard times at his event.[2][4] He is the kind of player who can add value beyond the box score—range, pressure on the bases, and a football-player edge—but his current college baseball production is not widely documented in the available sources, so the cleanest read is projection-driven rather than proven everyday impact.[1][2]
