Former South Carolina tight end, Jaheim Bell was an explosive play-maker for the Gamecocks’ offense. Bell showed his versatility and big play ability from different positions. He made 25 catches for 231 yards and 2 touchdowns as well as 73 carries for 261 yards rushing and 3 touchdowns this season. His productivity went down as a receiver in 2022 as the team needed him to play more running back this year. Bell has proven he can make big plays and should prosper in Mike Norvell’s offense at Florida State.

Bell is a fantastic athlete at tight end. He has the speed to stretch the defense and turn shorter gains into big plays. Bell accelerates well off the line and gets in and out of his breaks quickly, creating separation with ease. He shows tremendous leaping ability and can rise up to bring down a high pass when needed. Bell moves incredibly well for a tight end, consistently beating defenders and getting open downfield.

That power also helps him block, though he needs to be more consistent in that area of his game.
