Mani Powell, 6-foot-2 linebacker out of Canton, Ohio, is gearing up for a busy month of June after seeing his recruitment takeoff during his junior season. Coming off the edge for McKinley High School, Powell was relentless, leading his team with 81 tackles, 14 tackles-for-loss, four sacks, two forced fumbles and seven quarterback pressures.
That kind of productivity is why the University of Arkansas came calling for Powell in March and the two parties have now set an official visit for June 11. Recruitment s been good, can t complain, I ve just been rolling with the punches, Powell told HawgBeat. Arkansas was my first big one so I was excited about it. I was excited to see what they had in mind for me and how they want to use me. Coach Scherer and Coach Odom see me as the will linebacker, they want me to be an All-American and lead the country in tackles.
