Best thing since sliced bread: Clemson commit shines in Shrine Bowl

The state of North Carolina has seen what Cornell Powell can do, but Saturday the talented wide receiver put on a show for South Carolinians.

The 4-star Greenville (NC) Rose receiver and Clemson commit was the star of Saturday’s Shrine Bowl ,amassing 254 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns. Powell had four catches for 54 yards and a score, one rush for seven yards and three kickoff returns for 203 yards and a touchdown.

Powell said the performance he had at the Shrine Bowl was one he won’t soon forget.

“It means a lot, doing what I’ve been doing all year against other great talent and it really helps my confidence going into next year when I’m going to be at Clemson,” Powell said after Saturday’s game.
