versatile Sooners chess piece with rare QB-to-TE value
Blake Bell is a unique Oklahoma tight end because he brings quarterback-level ball skills and uncommon versatility, not just standard TE traits. In the 2014 season, he caught 16 passes for 214 yards and 4 touchdowns for the Sooners, building on his earlier OU career as a multi-use weapon who also logged 631 rushing yards and 24 rushing touchdowns across his Oklahoma years. His biggest differentiator is matchup stress: defenses had to account for him as a receiver, runner, and former passer. He fit best for teams wanting creativity, toughness, and red-zone juice.
