Arkansas adds Caleb Bell for D-line

FAYETTEVILLE — Alpharetta (Ga.) Milton Class of 2025 three-star defensive lineman Caleb Bell has committed to Arkansas.

Bell, 6-3, 270, was among the 11 official visitors to Arkansas this past weekend. He chose the Hogs over NC State, Mississippi State and others. Bell said at the time the Arkansas visit was a good one and helped with him.

“It went up a lot,” Bell said. “I was already considering them in my top three, top five and just coming back and seeing everything made me see how I can fit here. Obviously I’m going to go back and talk to my parents before I make my decision but it made it really high.”

Bell got positive feedback from his parents and won’t take his visit to Mississippi State this weekend. He had visited NC State prior to Arkansas.

Deke Adams made a very strong impression on Bell and he talked about their relationship.

“It’s good, of course he reached out to me when he offered,” Bell said. “We’ve been keeping in steady contact and still talking with each other and building the relationship. Seeing him and his players and see how much they interact with him and see how they respect him. It means a lot.”

As a junior, Bell had 75 tackles, 10 for loss, 17 quarterback hurries, 8.5 sacks, one pass breakup and an interception. His father, Kendrell Bell, played linebacker at Georgia and was drafted in Round 2 by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2001. Kendrell went on to be the 2001 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.
