Wilson Bell came to FSU as a three-star offensive guard with a player rating of 84.15. Bell checked in at 6’4 300 pounds and red-shirted his freshman year after suffering a knee injury.

He played in two games in 2014 as a reserve. However, Bell was able to start every game in 2015 at the right guard position and was one of two players on the offensive line to do that.

Bell lost his starting job to freshman stud Landon Dickerson, but came back into the lineup when Dickerson suffered a ACL injury. He has one year of eligibility remaining.

Grade-C

Bell receives this grade because he was able to work himself into the starting lineup and start every game in 2015. He was exceeding expectations and would have gotten a higher grade if he could have held on to the starting gig.
