Last season at Grayson High School, Bell recorded 46 total tackles, including one tackle for loss.
The 5-foot-11, 170-pound cornerback added one interception and nine passes defended during the 2023-24 season.
Interception and passes defended numbers don’t jump out at Bell because opposing teams rarely targeted Bell in the passing game.
Bell becomes the fourth defensive back to commit to Cignetti and the Hoosiers outside of the class of 2025.
Cignetti has now secured commitments from nine different players from the high school class of 2025.
Check out some of Bell’s highlights below.
