Tyler Powell's Versatility Pays Off

Posted Sep 7, 2018
When North Carolina played ECU in 2014, Tyler Powell didn't know what to expect of the environment inside Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. The road contest marked the first of his college career. In it, he recorded his first sack. But asked Wednesday about that game, a 70-41 UNC defeat, Powell didn't recall those experiences as much as the unpleasant memories still fueling him. (GoHeels.com)
