Texas A&M lands elite JUCO LHP from Northwest Florida State College
Texas A&M lands elite JUCO LHP from Northwest Florida State College
Texas A&M adds another 2026 commit who can help the bullpen in the long run. On Wednesday, left-handed pitcher Cooper Powell, out of Bedford, TX, announced via social media that he will continue his college career in Bryan-College Station.
Powell is currently in his first year at Northwest Florida State College and has been very impressive through 15 appearances. At 5'11", 185 lbs, he still has some room to grow, and with a fastball that tops out around 94 mph, he's been filling up the stat sheet with strikeouts.
His devastating fastball/breaking ball combination makes him extremely versatile anywhere in the rotation. He is an elite arm that will only improve. Perfect Game currently ranks him as the No. 1 JUCO LHP, which he will bring back to his hometown state.
Texas A&M coach Michael Earley has been off to a hot start on the recruiting trail. While the Aggies got off to a slow start this season, the recent hot streak has impressed prospects, which should lead to more commitments in due time.
