Emerging as a top target can be easier said than done at the school that dubs itself ‘WRU.’
Cornell Powell was rated as a four-star prospect and as high as the No. 36 overall player in the 2016 class (Rivals). He capped his impressive run at Rose High School (NC) with 264 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns in the Shrine Bowl.
After seeing action each of the previous four seasons -- one a redshirt, Powell has emerged in a leading role for the Clemson offense lately, compiling more yards already in eight games this season (418) than his 42 contests before (329).
