Upland's Powell picks up offer from Nebraska
Upland's Christian Powell, who has already received one offer to play defensive end in college, received his first as a fullback on Saturday. The 5-foot-11, 250-pound senior had an offer from Arkansas State but Nebraska has given him his first chance to play offense in college.
Powell, a preseason first-team All-Valley defensive end, already has a team-leading nine sacks and 50 tackles through six games after collecting 63 tackles and 7.5 sacks last season. Upland head coach Tim Salter called Powell the best fullback in the area... apparently Nebraska agrees.

Congrats to C.P
This is one great kid and a very hardworker. Its nice to see a kid with great talent be very humble. This is one kid who is very respectful and I'm sure his coaches and teamates will agree.
There are a lot of kids out there who have that natural talent and refuse to listen and work hard. So its nice to see a kid like this get some attention. I'm so happy for him and his mother. We are all proud....
Congratulations Christian. You've been recognized for your great talent on the field and something the Upland HS family is proud to have witnessed. Keep up your good work ethic and health this season. Your future is bright. Look forward to seeing an awesome performance this Friday vs. Rancho Cucamonga.
