FSU football: Top 10 best transfer portal additions in portal era
By Kelvin Hunt
Jaheim Bell
The No. 10 player on the list is tight end Jaheim Bell. The South Carolina transfer was only in the garnet and gold one season, but made his presence felt in the 2023 season. Bell became the best offensive threat at the position since Nick O'Leary left FSU after the 2014 season. Bell finished third on the team in receptions and receiving yards, and tied for second with two receiving touchdowns. He finished the 2023 season with 39 receptions, 503 yards, and two receiving touchdowns. Bell was a second team All-ACC selection.
He also added a rushing touchdown, while averaging 12.90 yards per reception. Bell likely would have had a better season had Jordan Travis not missed the past few games and had he not gotten banged up. Bell played much of the second part of the season with nagging injuries and it affected his production. However, he was still good enough to become a seventh round selection of the New England Patriots a few weeks ago.
