NFLPA Collegiate Bowl
Murray State All-America wide receiver/kick returner Walter Powell has been selected to play in the 2014 NFLPA Collegiate Bowl in Carson, Calif. Jan. 18. Kickoff is set for 5 p.m. from the StubHub Center, and can be seen on ESPN2. ESPNU will also broadcast from practices Jan 15 and 16.
For one week preceding the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl, participants will receive an in-depth introduction to the union – the primary resource for information on the business of football and how to succeed in the NFL and in post-football careers.
Â
Pro-football players and coaching legends will work with the game's future stars, giving them first-hand insight on what it takes to win on and off of the field. Dennis Green and Dick Vermeil will serve as the head coaches for the American and National Teams. Visit the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl site for a full list of the teams' assistant coaches.
Powell was a finalist for the 2013 Walter Payton Award after an impressive final season with the Racers. The First-Team All-OVC standout ends his NCAA career as Murray State's all-time leader in receiving yards, touchdowns, and 100-yard games while ranking second in catches. Against Southeast Missouri, Powell notched a career-high 15 receptions. Against Tennessee Tech, he caught eight passes for 177 yards and two touchdowns and added an 88-yard punt return for another score.
