All the TE work in his film isn’t impressive. So, he is being projected into other roles. Hope they are right.

He is about as raw as any football player you will see. He was a pencil until this year. Bet his film looks much better

Bell's had good size for quite a while. As a rising freshman in Aug '17, he measured 6-7, 225 at a basketball combine.

At a basketball showcase last August, one evaluator commented, "Trinity Bell has the best physique of any prospect in the state. Looks like a grown man at 6'7" 251 lbs of straight muscle from head to toe. Bell was easily one of the most athletic players in attendance. He was the recipient of numerous lobs and drop offs. Once he got comfortable, he started to expand his game a bit and showcased the type of player he could be at the next level. It was hard to take the ball from him with his strong hands whenever he got a hold of it. Bell threw down a windmill in a half court set that was rather impressive. Don't be surprised if you see him on someone's NFL team later in life although he hasn't played since 6th grade."

He has had hight but not any weight for anything. 225 on his frame was nothing. I promise you that. That weight isn't entirely accurate either or he lost weight because he has put on 65 lbs since he rejoined football in 2019 season

And yeah, those numbers on the roster is correct plus 5 lbs. He is much stronger at 265 than 220 and more healthy football player.

And i probably worded being a pencil the wrong way. He just wasn't as strong and physically withstanding of football until this off season. Jmo

Appreciate your insight. I believe Bell will be a ridiculously quick & powerful OT for us in 2-3 years, but he'll be a force whichever side of the ball he lines up on.

Frame: Rare combination of height and raw size. Above-average shoulder width. Reported 6-foot-9 wingspan. Long waisted. Taut, developing lower body. Plenty of room for more weight, but emphasis will be strength and sinew.

Athleticism: Moves extremely well considering frame. Coordinated athlete, with good feet. Long, fluid strider, but above-average speed at best. Impressive ball skills and body control adjusting to throws. Can maintain balance through contact. Strength unknown.

Instincts: Overly reliant on physical advantages as receiver and defensive end. Prefers finesse to physicality. Tracks ball well in air. Fights for extra yardage after catch; not a burner nor elusive, but tough to bring down.

Polish: Shows little refinement and nuance on either side of ball. Runs extremely limited route tree; mostly go's and screens. Lines up exclusively out wide, so little to no experience as blocker. Lacks plan at defensive end. Doesn’t use arms in pass or run game.

Bottom Line: Bell’s blend of height, budding girth and overall coordination is worth a Power-5 offer all by itself despite his clear lack of polish. Natural pass-catching skills mean he’ll start at tight end for Volunteers, though he must be wary of gaining too much weight. Several years away in terms of strength, technique and experience, but possesses long-term ceiling of impact starter and NFL draftee.
