5-Star Dia Bell Teases Major Texas Longhorns Commit

"I think we got one coming soon, you guys should it see on the internet," Bell told 247Sports. "Happy about that. It's been going good."

Bell, who committed to the Longhorns on June 17, 2024, has been an active recruiter for Texas despite having yet to sign his National Letter of Intent. A product of American Heritage High School in Fort Lauderdale, FL., Bell is the No. 5 quarterback in the 2026 class and the No. 3 overall player in the state of Florida, per 247Sports' rankings.

Prior to his commitment to Texas, Bell received offers from Miami, Ohio State, Oregon, Alabama, Penn State and many more. More recently, he was offered by Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs in January.

Last season in the Florida high school state playoffs, Bell was carted off after suffering a significant leg injury. He suffered the injury in the third quarter while his team was down 14-0, but American Heritage was able to rally and score 24 unanswered for the 24-14 win. He finished the 2024 season 161 of 228 passing for 2,597 yards, 29 touchdowns and six interceptions to along with 67 rush attempts for 561 yards and five touchdowns.
