It’s been a big transformation for this Mid-Tennessee product over the past two years as Bell has now worked himself into possibly playing his play into a D1 opportunity. Standing 6 ‘6 250 plus pounds, Bell has the size, length and athletic skill set to excel on the college level and I feel he is still far from a finished product, which is an exciting concept. Where the Spartans big man has developed his game the most is with his lower body agility and burst off the snap. Bell comes off the ball hard and fast and with his bend and length, opposing offensive linemen have a problem dealing with him. Because of his size and power/speed combo, Bell can provide snaps at the 3-tech as well. I think the sky’s the limit for Bell and could be a steal for whoever he signs with.

Standing 6’6 250 plus pounds, Bell looks the part of a college guy and so far this senior season, the Spartans D-lineman is playing like one while boosting his overall stock. When you have the kind of look and size that Bell does, you need to play up to the potential and I think he is beginning to see the light. His film shows improvement from his hand work to his burst off the snap along with increased agility within his lower base that is allowing him to be active in the opponent’s backfield. Offensive linemen have had difficult times handling Bell due to his height, length and speed off the ball. 

New offers have already started to arrive but if the Spartans senior D-lineman can continue to string together top level performances, bigger programs may begin to get involved. The biggest thing holding Bell back from bigger interest is his body weight but the frame is definitely there to eventually pack on the weight. I think so far through the 2024 season, Bell has done well for himself even though his team is struggling. The Spartans big man should continue to focus on his development because his film shows that he is on the cusp of breaking out in a big way with the potential of landing on the D1 level.
