CHARLOTTE — Former UNC linebacker Power Echols has checked off nearly every goal he’s set for himself.
Among them, the former Julius Chambers standout led the Cougars to a high school state championship, earned a scholarship at Power 5 school, and eventually earned All-conference honors at UNC Chapel Hill.
Now, Echols is patiently awaiting for the opportunity to accomplish another goal: to hear his name called during the NFL Draft.
“If I wasn’t taking him to a gym, he was working out on his own,” Echol’s mother, Star Robinson-Russell, said.
While he’s waiting, he’s working. Often 2-3 times a day.
