Arkansas commitment and Fayetteville linebacker Mani Powell is keeping a positive attitude and helping out his team after a season-ending injury.
Powell, 6-2, 230 pounds, moved to Northwest Arkansas from Canton (Ohio) McKinley in August, not long after committing to the Razorbacks in July.
He suffered an ACL and meniscus injury against Bentonville West on Sept. 24, but he hasn’t let the injury keep him down.
“I know I’m set for a future of football, so it didn’t really effect me too much,” Powell said.
Powell, who had surgery on Oct. 21, plans to enroll at Arkansas in January and be ready to play in the spring game.
