The Rivals300 update is out, and Texas 2026 quarterback commit Dia Bell continues to shine. The Longhorns pledge has officially been named the No. 1 quarterback in the nation and the No. 2 overall prospect in the 2026 class, earning five-star honors.

Bell, who is committed to Texas , has been a force on the 7-on-7 circuit, showing off the complete package at OT7 national tournaments. he also took home MVP honors in the elite 11, a prestigious, quarterback competition. His arm talent is elite, able to throw from multiple angles, launch deep with accuracy, and fit the ball into tight windows with serious velocity. He’s a natural creator who makes off-platform throws look effortless.

But it’s not just the physical tools—Bell has that “it” factor. Teammates gravitate toward him. He leads with poise and confidence, commanding attention in every setting. He’s a tone-setter who wants to build Texas’ 2026 class into one of the best in the nation, actively recruiting other elite talent to join him in Austin.

Coach Steve Sarkisian’s offense is tailor-made for Bell’s skill set. His anticipation, timing, and ability to make quick decisions will fit seamlessly into a system that thrives on precision and aggression through the air.

While Bell is already ranked among the best, his ceiling is still rising. He hasn’t come close to hitting his full potential—and that’s what makes his future in burnt orange so exciting.
