Let’s take a look at Cornell Powell, the wide receiver prospect out of Greenville, North Carolina.
The Clemson Tiger Class of 2016 already has a total of eight commits as we hit mid-May. There are still several prospects in the nation that Coach Swinney and his staff will attempt to get pledges from in the upcoming months as they begin their senior season of football. Over the rest of May, however, we are going to take a look at these eight men and what they could do when they arrive on campus next fall. Today, we will take a look at Greenville, North Carolina native Cornell Powell.
Powell committed to Clemson on February 4 of this year, just a few days after attending Clemson’s Junior Day on January 31. He was recruiting by Wide Receiver Coach and Co-Offensive Coordinator Jeff Scott and seems to be a hard commit for the Tigers.
The four-star wide receiver is, I believe, one of the most underrated talents in the 2016 class. Powell has some impressive hands and great route-running ability. He also has the ability to go up and get the “jump ball.” All of that, combined with his explosiveness leads to a very dangerous wide receiver on the outside, or possibly in the slot.
Powell is a great addition to this class and he was named MVP of the Army Bowl Combine. He is a guy that, if he continues to work hard in the next two off-seasons, could possibly be in the two-deep depth chart as a true freshman. He certainly has some work to do, but he is a great talent and is most deserving of his four-star rating.
