Some Division I schools, including Cincinnati, have shown interest in the senior at cornerback. At running back, he rushed for nearly 200 yards two weeks ago.
Cardinal O’Hara football coach Mike Ewing wasn’t quite sure what to make of Keon Powell when the senior defensive back and running back transferred in after three seasons at St. Joseph’s Prep.
“Super nice kid,” Ewing said at a practice this week. “Some kids, you ask them about themselves and you have to get them to stop. He’s soft-spoken.At some point, Ewing also wondered how Powell’s personality would translate on the field. O’Hara, after all, had just one win last season and finished 1-6 in the Catholic League.“It was kind of like, ‘All right, man. You are a football player, right?’ ” Ewing joked. “And then we put the pads on him and instantly we knew we were good.
“It’s a chance for us to show everybody in the Catholic League that we’re for real this year,” Powell said, “and that O’Hara is about to turn it around.”Ewing, now in his second season in charge, learned that his team was in good hands about three or four days into summer training camp. Perhaps Powell, who is 6-foot-1 and 180 pounds, needed time to adjust since he hadn’t played running back since eighth grade at St. Mary Magdalen School, which used O’Hara as its home field.
