You can count on one hand the times Beck faced blindside pressure, and you wouldn’t need all five fingers.

Really good season for Bell. He is a priority for retention.

What are the odds of Bell coming back for one more year? According to most draft sites, he isn't ranking that highly. Also, does Cooper have any eligibility? He's not ranking highly on draft boards either.

Bell is still a little too stiff in pass blocking and overextends himself in run blocking. He also needs to have fewer false starts and holding calls.

But he has improved tremendously year over year. If Bell takes a small step further he could become just as good as Cece at the college level. Already really good. Potential to be dominant.

Bell has developed into a solid college left tackle at the moment. There is nothing he currently does or will do as well as Cici.

asking from an uniformed standpoint, does juco not count at all against eligibility?

I wont say I am informed as I casually followed the Pavia case but my recollection is Pavia sued to get an extra year of eligibility arguing JUCO should not count, the trial court granted him a preliminary injunction to allow him to play, then the NCAA gave a blanket waiver to all athletes in 2025 saying JUCO would not count. The NCAA then appealed the injunction ruling and the appellate court dismissed the injunction as moot based on the blanket waiver. So there is still a technical legal fight over whether or not that rule is enforceable BUT it appears the NCAA has been gutted every time it steps in a court room, also not hard to envision Bell, should he want to return, to do the same thing Pavia did, use the Pavia case as precedent to get an injunction allowing him to play in 2026 then go to the draft.

Bell would have a slam dunk case for a red shirt year anyway Says he only played in 4 games his freshman year
NCAA allows 4 games juco doesn't fot red shirt's

I’m with you on this. He’s a serviceable college back, not elite in any area and doesn’t have NFL attributes outside of size. He seems like a great young man, I’m rooting for him, but he’s not better than Brown on this team.
