Mickey Plyler on Powell: This is the most complete receiver in this class. Simply stated, Powell can do it all. He catches the ball well. He high points it well. He is explosive in the open field. Powell is a terrific kick return prospect. He works hard and takes his trade serious. It would be hard for any freshman to crack the lineup at receiver this year's but I think Powell gets a shot at early playing time.

Reminds Plyler of: Tony Horne

He committed to Clemson on 2/4/15.
