Cornell Powell played for a coach in Dabo Swinney who has won National Championships as both a player and a coach, and now plays for Andy Reid, who has won Super Bowls as both an assistant coach (XXXI) and a head coach (LIV). Powell said he sees similarities in both coaches.
A former four-star recruit out of high school, Powell burst onto the scene in 2020 for a Tigers team in contention for a national championship appearance. In 12 games played in 2020, Powell caught 53 passes for 882 yards and seven touchdowns on 53 receptions.
