UMass’s do-it-all senior DB who tackles, creates turnovers, and even moonlights on fake punts
In the 2024 season, Te'Rai Powell was a steady, high-motor UMass defensive back, starting every game and finishing with 52 tackles, 2 interceptions, and 3 pass breakups while also flashing versatility with a 39-yard fake-punt rush. UMass listed him as a senior captain and even a spring-game Boland Award winner, which hints at the kind of trusted, tone-setting player coaches lean on. If you want a DB who brings experience, physicality, and a little chaos in the best way, Powell fits the bill.
