Villanova’s high-impact, do-everything linebacker
Bell is a high-motor, playmaking linebacker who flashed elite production in the 2024 season, leading Villanova with 126 tackles and adding 16 tackles for loss, 3 sacks, 3 fumble recoveries, and a pick-six.[10] He brings positional versatility and a little offensive gadget value too, scoring three touchdowns in 2024 as Villanova occasionally used him on offense.[10] The bigger sell is his impact presence: he was a two-time CAA Defensive Player of the Week in 2023 and earned AP honorable mention All-America honors after consistently showing up around the ball.[8][10] For a team needing toughness, range, and disruption, he looks like a strong fit.[8][10]
