'21 AL TE Trinity Bell (Tennessee signee)

[DarkAvenger]

Osovet tweeted an hour ago, don’t know if it pertains to trinity or maybe Tyrion

 

[griddie]

He’s bigger than Ritze and more athletic. Why in the world could he not play at 6’7, 300-310 as a SDE with his size and incredible athletic ability? I mean that’s what we are recruiting him for

 

[butchna]

Simonton says defense here

After missing out on several?

Why not Tyrion, Trinity, and Terrion?

 

[Weezer]

So confused. I thought we wanted him as a TE? Now we're hearing defense?

Eh.. It's been discussed for several days.. Really got ramped up when theories started to pop up that we wanted to take bell, Campbell and Wolfe.

TOS said we are recruiting him as a defensive player

Get him on campus and take it from there. If he shows up this athletic freak at TE, you play him there. If not, then give him to Coach Jimmy B. Simple

I have been seeing this, and Pennington could be a mammoth NT.

I say take Campbell and the 6'7 samoan dude from Nevada, put To'oto'o on him. Solid with potential to move guys back if it dint work out , just like they have with numerous players so far since Pruitt got here.

Yeah, I agree. You can't teach size and athleticism. Bell has both in spades. Get him in and play him where you need him. He would be a heck of an offensive tackle, too.

 

[bignewt]

whatever is clever

 

[Palm Beach Vol]

With his size an athleticism get him onboard and then figure out where he fits best. I trust the coaches to do what's best for the player & team when it comes to "best position".
Goodness gracious ain't this fun guys! damn I love my Vols and" it's our decade"!

VFL...GBO

The film on Bell is his first year of high school football. Kid has a very high ceiling. The physical tools are there. He's another with D-1 football and basketball potential.

 

[Nashvegas31]

Sounds like we recruit and take as athlete. VQ says defense and 247 article quotes him as saying at first it was defense but now most recruit for offense including us

 

[MoB_MoVols]

Elsewhere, Tennessee is also in a good spot with two other tight ends, as Alabama native Trinity Bell looks like his recruitment is seeing its final stretches after dropping a Top 5 earlier in the week. Bell has jived with Tennessee for quite a while and offers plenty of flexibility with his versatility. At 6-7 and north of 265 pounds, his frame could be interesting in college.

Sounds like the framework for, "his position in college is fluid".

yep. that's how i took it too.

Bell could play both ways if he wants to and be on the field at all times.

 

[T Dog]

Will not be a TE. They said how many 6'7 300lbs TE do ya'll know of. I expect him to play on the DL.

[volfaninpa]

Could this kid develop into a Offensive Tackle? Could his frame translate to it? Could this be a plan in them potentially taking 3 tight ends: (Campbell, Bell, and Wolfe, the kid from Nevada, or seeing Roc Taylor or Nixon develop into one)?

 

[UTVFL_4297]

Gonna be a d lineman all the way

The butch jones days of signing TE’s hoping they turn into Olinemen are over, my friend.

I'm fine with that.

But Butch Jones isn't coaching at UT anymore, so to not consider that it will at some point happen is foolish. I asked about Bell because some reports say he is 6 ft 7 inches and up to right about 300 lbs now. IF true, this young man will be a lineman on either the offense or defense.
