The redshirt freshman will be transferring closer to his Petaluma, California home.
Erik Powell was a somewhat unexpected and very pleasant surprise for the WSU kicking game last year, converting on 20 of 26 field goals and knocking every PAT attempt through the uprights. The redshirt junior is the presumptive starter for this season which means, much like the quarterback position where only one person can generally have the job, transfers aren't unexpected. On his Facebook page this morning, redshirt freshman kicker Matt Abramo announced he'd be transferring to Cal.
For Abramo, the move south to Berkeley makes a good deal of sense.
