Highly touted 2025 running back recruit jp powell received an offer from the Auburn Tigers after a successful meeting with the running back coach Derrick Nix.
The Georgia native also received offers from State of Florida, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, fellow Alabama program Troy, and a host of other smaller schools. Powell told On3’s Jeffrey Lee that he plans to visit Auburn this summer.
“It felt really good to be offered by Auburn,” Powell said. “I’m excited [Auburn] thinks enough of me to offer to be one of the next great defensive backs there… I’m super excited about my offer from Auburn and plan to be an official over the summer.
The Tigers will certainly be in a “bidding war” of sorts for the talented running back’s talents, as Powell is expected to visit state school Georgia Tech soon, where he will likely receive an offer. The 5-foot-10, 185-pound junior averaged 6.7 yards per carry in his junior season at Miller County High School in Georgia.
With the current Tigers starter Jarquez Hunter entering his final season with the orange and blue, Hugh Freeze and the company will put a lot of effort into acquiring running back talent like Powell as the year progresses. Despite being a 2025 recruit, he has yet to receive a rating from 247Sports or On3.
