Expert Analysis
Connor Jackson | Prep Redzone Scout
Bell tacked on several FBS offers this spring, which got the ball rolling in his recruitment. He is slightly on the shorter side for a corner, but compensates for it in other ways. He has good footwork and is a sudden athlete, helping him match and mirror the top of routes. He is fast enough to carry routes vertically and comes downhill to aggressively attack the ball. He plays hard, so if he gets knocked inside to play nickel, he should handle those responsibilities well. Regardless, he is a well-rounded, quality prospect.

Read EvaluationMatt DeBary | Prep Redzone Scout
A Gwinnett County cornerback on the rise who could push for All-Region status this fall, Bell is a lean, athletic defensive back who doesn’t get tricked on double-moves and can stick with receivers down the sideline. He’s a physical tackler and didn’t play like your typical sophomore last season. He was sound in coverage and showed he’s able to make a key tackle in space as he made 33 tackles and one INT in coverage last season. His talent was noticeable, as was is D1-potential. He’s earned offers this spring from Western Kentucky, Middle Tennessee State, Georgia State, among others and could see more come his way with a breakout junior season.
