One of the most instinctual off-ball linebackers in the show me state is Kingston Powell Kingston Powell 5'11" | 185 lbs | LB/RB Joplin | 2029 State MO . Not only is he very good in play recognition, but he has the necessary speed and quickness to get there and make a play on the ball.

One of the hardest working young football players is Kingston Powell Kingston Powell 5'11" | 185 lbs | LB/RB Joplin | 2029 State MO from Joplin, Missouri.

Since his days as a youth football player, until now being a Bonafide star for the Joplin Eagles. Kingston Powell Kingston Powell 5'11" | 185 lbs | LB/RB Joplin | 2029 State MO was always the hardest working young man I have had the pleasure of being around. Powell just loves the game of football with a passion and when you want to be a successful football player that’s half the battle.

Powell plays the middle linebacker position like his head is on fire, he gives maximum effort and never gives up on a play. Highly athletic, paired with playing the game with a little chip on his shoulder, Kingston gives you everything you want in a Middle linebacker.

I’m definitely going to keep a close eye on Powell heading into high school, as well as other college programs.
