Tennessee game has added significance for Gators' receiver Brandon Powell

Two years ago, Brandon Powell was going to be playing in Saturday’s Florida-Tennessee game one way or another.

When Powell exits the south tunnel of the Swamp with the Gators, the sophomore receiver will be faced with what could have been.

Powell originally commited to the Vols in June 2013 after his junior season at Deerfield Beach High School.

“It was the first college I visited,” he said. “I just fell in love with it, so I committed.”

Powell, who initially was leaning toward Auburn, changed his mind six weeks later and flipped his commitment to Miami.
