Rice TE Ethan Powell brings receiver-like production and reliable return-game value
Ethan Powell is a strong fit for teams that want a versatile, assignment-sound tight end with proven pass-catching experience and special-teams value: at Southwestern, he was a team MVP who averaged 18.3 yards per catch in his final season and 16.6 yards per catch for his career, and at Rice he saw action on kickoff returns in 10 games, including a season high of seven returns twice. He offers size, toughness, and enough field-speed to stress defenses after the catch, making him more of a functional weapon than a pure in-line mauler.
