Though this chapter ended sooner than expected, Bell made it clear he’s eager to get to Texas. “As disappointing as the ending of this chapter is for me, I am even more excited about being 100% healthy and starting the next chapter in Austin! To my new family, my Longhorn family… see you all in January!”
For the Longhorns, Bell’s announcement is a reminder of why he’s such a valuable addition to the program. His leadership, poise, and resilience stand out as much as his physical talent, and his focus has already shifted to preparing for life on the Forty Acres.
