This is unfortunately not an alternative facts article. Taylor Powell, arguably the best player in Wake Forest’s 2017 recruiting class, has decommitted from Wake Forest and committed to the Missouri Tigers. His commitment comes just one day after receiving an offer from Mizzou.
Taylor Powell had a damn good senior season, as he threw for 3,473 yards and 44 touchdowns and also led his team to a second consecutive Class 7A state championship in the state of Arkansas. Powell was named Arkansas Gatorade Player of the Year for his heroic efforts. Being from Arkansas, Missouri is a much better option from a geography standpoint.
