Quote
The 6-foot-1, 190-pound Bell had 119 tackles, intercepted five passes, caused three fumbles and returned three of his five fumble recoveries for touchdowns in the 2011 season. He also had 31 catches for 487 yards and six other TDs. During offseason workouts, Mariakis said Bell was timed in 4.4 seconds in the 40-yard
dash.

"He's just that talented that he could make an impact on either side of the ball," said Mariakis, who has former players currently on the rosters at Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and Oklahoma State. "He's the best we've ever had here. The things that separate him are his speed to the ball, his ability to lay a lick when he gets that and his knack for making the sure tackle. Tackling is almost a lost art because so many guys try to just knock people down, but Vonn locks up and drives them backward. He finishes the play, and he's also very dangerous with the ball in his hands.
"He's a quality kid as far as his character and has that inner drive to want to be better on the field and off."
