Brandon Bell was a high-volume, tone-setting Penn State linebacker
Brandon Bell stood out for his playmaking and toughness, not just his box-score production: in 2016 he started 10 games, finished with a career-high 88 tackles despite missing four games, and was named Penn State’s team captain and Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week after an 18-tackle game against No. 2 Ohio State. He was one of the FBS’s rare multiple-18-tackle performers that season, which underscores his range, endurance, and game-to-game intensity. For a team, he projects as a reliable, physical inside linebacker who can set the tone and lead by example.[1]
