The head coach at Model Laboratory School in Richmond since 2022, Powell was a finalist for 2022 Small School State Coach of the Year.
"I am thrilled and honored for the opportunity to become the next boys head coach at GRC," Powell said. "Since the day I became a head coach, this position was always circled as a dream job for me."

His coaching career began in 2021 at Paris High School where he led the girls soccer team for one season.
