Jalen Bell brings veteran power and production to Memphis’s defensive front
Jalen Bell is a 2026 Memphis DL with a compact 5-foot-11, 280-pound frame and a proven track record of disruptive play, including 36 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, and an interception in the 2025 season. He’s the kind of interior defender who can hold his ground, flash burst on the move, and help a team survive the chaos of the line of scrimmage. The extra appeal: he arrived with years of college experience, so this isn’t a raw project—he’s a ready-made, physical fit for a defense that wants toughness, maturity, and some sneaky playmaking juice.
