6-foot-6 Texas WR with long-frame upside, still waiting for game reps
Hudson Powell is a junior wide receiver at Texas in 2026, listed at 6-6 and 198 pounds, and the biggest storyline is projection: he has elite size for the position, local roots, and joined the Longhorns as a preferred walk-on in summer 2024, but he did not appear in games in 2024 and had no available statistics through 2025. That means the appeal is upside, not production—if a team wants a developmental red-zone weapon with a big catch radius, Powell is intriguing; if it needs proven production right now, he is still more idea than answer.
