will be a key cog in the middle of the Princeton defense again this season. He’s a mountain of an athlete, which we saw firsthand this summer at a camp. Colleges can continue developing Bell’s body, which he’s made progress in over the years. Offenses will have to run opposite his play side as he forces double teams and clogs running lanes up the middle.

is hard to miss in more ways than one and earned an offer from Concord at their prospect camp on Friday. In the 6’6 390 range, Bell sticks out like a sore thumb anywhere that he goes and has size that can’t be taught. He can be a very good space filler at the next level as an interior defensive lineman, a role that he can excel at after further body and agility development. It’s tough for a lot of high school offensive linemen to prevent him from getting penetration as a big, strong, and powerful athlete.

. Listed as 6’6 390 on his HUDL and 6’7 on his X account, Bell is a massive space eater along the interior of the Tigers’ defensive line. He’s someone who will demand double teams often based on size and power alone to create any space up the middle. Bell’s large wingspan also disrupts quarterbacks attempting to throw over him causing tipped passes and inaccurate throws. Further developing his body at the next level will be crucial for Bell, but you can’t teach size and he has plenty of it.

is in the same boat as someone with limited film available right now but shows flashes in what’s available. Bell claimed an offer from Dartmouth recently and has a high ceiling depending on how his body continues to develop. He’s in the 6’6 390 range and is obviously a massive athlete that colleges can work with and develop. The good news is Bell isn’t just a stone wall that can’t move and was very good at blowing up inside runs in his limited film available. His length, size, and wingspan will serve him well once he spends a couple of years in a college strength and conditioning program whose best football is way ahead of him.

out of Princeton. Again unfortunately, no video available for Bell, but we do know he plays both center and nose guard for Princeton. Additionally, Bell has elite size at 6-foot-6 and reports to be approximately 360 pounds. That weight would obviously have to be worked on if he hopes to see the field at the collegiate level. He has made visits this offseason to Marshall, Fairmont State, and Virginia Tech.
