In seven seasons, Power has one carry for three yards, seven catches for 37 yards, 82 tackles, and three forced fumbles in 100 games for the Stampeders. He is a two-time Grey Cup champion (2014, 2018).
Collegiately, Power played four seasons at the University of Saskatchewan (2009-12). He started as a linebacker, making 41 tackles, four pass breakups, and two fumble recoveries in 16 games. Then, he switched to fullback with one carry for two yards, 18 catches for 231 yards, and two touchdowns in eight games for the Huskies.
