TCU head football coach Sonny Dykes and his wife, Kate, have donated $1 million to the TCU athletic department.
On Tuesday, the Dykes family gifted $1 million to the school's athletic department. The donation will be used to honor former TCU offensive lineman Jamal Powell with his name on the weight room in the Harrison Family Football Performance Center and create an endowment in the name of Shirley Enis, the late wife of TCU trustee Hunter Enis.."When we first came here in 2017, we saw how special the TCU community is.
“From his playing days here, Jamal always had a place in his heart for TCU and became a part of our family when he coached with Sonny. Shirley had such a passion for TCU and was one of the kindest people Sonny and I ever met. She immediately welcomed us into her TCU family, and we are so honored to return the love she shared with us.”
From 2000-02, Powell was a three-year letterman for the Horned Frogs, earning first-team All-Conference USA honors as a senior. He then began a collegiate coaching career with Dykes hiring Powell as his offensive line coach at SMU in 2018. They worked together for three years until Powell died in April 2021. He was 39.
