Richard Bell Jr. Is a Rising Columbia DL With Early-Stage Production and Big Frame Upside
Bell, a 6-5 Columbia defensive lineman, is still early in his college career, but he has already shown up in game action after playing eight games in 2025 and logging two tackles at Dartmouth. Columbia lists him as a DL, while ESPN identifies him as a sophomore, which fits a developmental profile more than a finished product. The appeal is size, length and room to add strength; the question is whether he can turn limited snaps into consistent disruption.
