Michigan OL Derek Bell brings veteran size and roster depth
Derek Bell is a **6-foot-4, 285-pound senior offensive lineman** on Michigan’s 2004 roster, giving the Wolverines experienced depth up front rather than a stat-sheet star turn.[5] As an OL, his value is in the less-visible stuff: size, leverage, and steadiness in a trench role where consistency matters more than highlight plays. The main reason to care is fit—he profiles as a dependable interior/edge depth piece for a physical run-first program, not a headline grabber.[5]
