He cited the university’s mandate requiring all students to receive a COVID-19 vaccination as the reason. Powell also caused a stir on Twitter by incorrectly referring to the school as the University of Rutgers, but soon after issued a correction.
After moving from quarterback to defensive back, Powell was expected to compete for a spot on the two-deep this season. However, Powell has not been with the program since training camp began.
