🔼 Anotha’ One. Not only did the ACC love Antwaun Powell-Ryland’s performance last week but so did the Maxwell Football Club. Powell-Ryland was named the Bednarik Award Player of the Week and the Walter Camp National FBS Player of the Week. He registered four sacks against Old Dominion, matching his own school record. He is one of only four Tech players to ever record four sacks in a game. He totaled seven tackles, forced two fumbles and recovered one fumble.
