The 6-foot-8, 330-pound offensive tackle comes to Boulder after playing five years of college football elsewhere. Bell started his collegiate career at Kilgore Community College in Texas, where he rose to become one of the highest-rated recruits out of the JUCO level in 2021 and 2022. After entering the portal following his sophomore season, Bell committed to Mississippi State, where he played in 66 offensive snaps during his two seasons with the Bulldogs in 2023 and 2024.
