Read EvaluationRobert Davis | Prep Redzone Scout
Powers is a linebacker who plays with aggression and quickness, making him a nightmare for opposing offenses. He is a hard hitter that at times can force fumbles with his physicality. Powers has a natural instinct for the game, quickly filling gaps and stopping runners in their tracks. His quickness allows him to shoot through lanes before blockers can react, and his ability to shed or evade linemen makes him a nuisance for offensive coordinators. He finished last season with an impressive 139 total tackles and three sacks, demonstrating his ability to contribute in both run defense and pass-rushing situations. If he continues to develop and hits the camp circuit this offseason, he could draw serious interest from college scouts.
