Bell, 6 feet 2 and 250 pounds with 5.1 speed in the 40-yard dash, said he decided to commit to Tulane last Thursday during an unofficial visit to the uptown campus. He was recruited by Washington, Tulane’s new defensive coordinator, and defensive line coach John Sumrall.
“I loved the campus and I wanted to be a Greenie,’’ Bell said. “I want to be a part of the football team. It’s a great academic school. I want to go into education. I want to be a coach and to teach English.’’
North Texas, Alabama State and Prairie View A&M were other schools that had made official offers to Bell, Valdez said. Bell also had attracted heavy interest from Minnesota, Memphis, Southern, Grambling and UL-Monroe.
