A Norwell sophomore had an experience of a lifetime in December.
Offensive lineman Carson Powell attended a Recruit Nation Regional Showcase in Westfield in June with 15,500 other players. His showcase went so well, that Powell was one of 180 players to receive an invitation to the Dream All-American Rising Stars football game at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, also known as the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys football stadium.
Powell was the only representative from Indiana, as he received instruction from coaches, practiced, participated in media day and was recognized in a ceremony on Dec. 29.
In the game, Powell made five pancake blocks and his teammates allowed no sacks for their quarterback that day. College scouts were also in attendance.
Following his commitment to the Dream Football Classic on thenationalradar.com, a recruiting site, it says Powell “excels in run and pass blocking, utilizing his great hands and lateral quickness to create opportunities for his teammates. His knack for executing pancake blocks and his hard-hitting style make him a formidable presence on the field. A natural leader, Carson’s coachable attitude ensures he consistently improves and inspires his team.”
