Miami Hurricanes HUGE 6-foot-9, 345-pound offensive lineman has decided to enter his name into the 2026 NFL Draft.

He announced for the NFL Draft on Instagram.



Here is what he said:

“First off, I want to thank God for His favor and His grace, for allowing me to put on display the talents and gifts He’s given me. Secondly, I wanna thank my mom, siblings, girlfriend, and Coach George for their unwavering love and support through this whole process. I also want to thank both staffs at Holmes CC and the University of Miami for believing in me and taking the time to pursue me as a player and as a person. I most definitely wouldn’t be the player and man I am today without y’all.
Lastly, I want to thank my teammates that I’ve been blessed to play beside throughout this whole journey. From the 4th quarter drills to the long, hot practices on Greentree, I am so grateful and thankful that I got to go through that with you guys by my side. I would trade anything in the world to be in that huddle one more time with you guys. With that being said, I am entering my name into the 2026 NFL Draft!!”

 

I think he would have gotten a waiver, will be interesting to see how it works out for all involved..

I assume he didn't want to go through the hassle. He probably could have come back and gone a little higher, but Bell honestly got drafted to the perfect landing spot. As much as I hate them, the Eagles do a great job of developing lineman. All worked out for him

Well Stoutland is gone so like things in any sport cant assume, things can change fasssst.. I remember in interviews during playoffs I said he sounds like he bouncing.. and people pushed back, he didnt even try so he was just ready to go, like you say worked out relatively well for him..
