Veteran DB Transfer Bringing Tackling Grit to Sam Houston Bearkats
Senior Cecil Powell, a 6'0", 205-lb defensive back who transferred to Sam Houston in January 2025 after a solid 2024 Troy season with 24 tackles, 1 TFL, and 1 PBU across 12 games (starting the opener), offers proven experience from NC State and Troy. His high school ball-hawking (2 INTs as a senior) and corner-to-safety versatility make him a reliable, intense coverage asset ideal for FCS contention—perfect for teams needing a battle-tested leader without injury red flags to anchor the secondary.
