Bell (6’/192) originally committed to Wisconsin, where he redshirted in his first year and turned a starting role into 440 receiving yards plus 260 rushing yards in the following season. The Badgers scaled his role back in 2023, which limited him to a measly 296 yards. Without much to do in Wisconsin, Bell transferred to UConn. Now back in a full-time role, he immediately popped for a team-high 850 yards. Several schools made Bell offers in the transfer portal. UConn head coach Jim Mora confirmed that Bell even had a $500K offer from Michigan on the table. UConn ultimately retained its top wideout and was rewarded with a dominant season. Bell posted a 101-1,278-13 receiving line, setting the school record for catches and receiving touchdowns in a single season. He operated at all depths of the field throughout his five years in college, but his skills were maximized when the Huskies peppered him with underneath targets. Bell averaged 8.2 YAC per catch and moved the chains 50 times in 2025. Only three wideouts created more first downs last year. The step up in competition from UConn to the NFL could be tough, but Bell has the makings of a dynamic WR2 at the next level.
