After receiving an offer from Missouri on January 22, Taylor Powell, the Gatorade Player of the Year for Arkansas, flipped his commitment from Wake Forest to Missouri the next day.

Taylor Powell is a three-star pro-style quarterback from Fayetteville High School in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The 6’2”, 202 pound quarterback committed to Wake Forest on June 11 and did not receive another offer until Western Michigan and Missouri offered on January 22. In his commitment tweet, Powell stated that part of his decision came from wanting to remain close to his family and friends.
