Powell, 6-3, 175, Odessa, (Texas) Permian has offers from Arkansas, Ohio State, Texas, Nebraska, Ole Miss, Illinois, Oklahoma State and others. He's played quarterback most of his career.

Position preference in college:

"I feel like I can be most successful at receiver."

Arkansas being the first Power Five school to offer:

"Them being my very first big school offer that's a lot of leverage towards them. Really they trusted in my ability like before anybody else could, so really everybody else saw them offer me and then they knew it was time."
