On300 Four-Star WR Demitrius Bell decommits from Michigan State

Nashville (TN) McGavock High four-star wide receiver Demitrius Bell announced his decommitment from Michigan State.

The 6-foot-1, 175 pounder had been committed to the Spartans since early June.

Bell sent a statement to On3 regarding his decommitment:

First and foremost, I would like to thank Michigan State and the whole coaching staff for believing in me and giving me an opportunity to pursue my academic and football career.

I’m thankful for the relationships I built with the coaches, especially wide receiver coach Courtney Hawkins.

After countless talks with my family, I will be decommitting from Michigan State University and exploring my options!

Thank you again.

Demitrius Bell Scouting Summary

“Two-way playmaker whose twitch and suddenness pop off the screen along with his ball skills and ability to put the ball in the endzone on any given play,” On3’s Director of Scouting Charles Power wrote. “Natural pass catcher who has soft hands. Totaled 35 receptions for 498 yards and 7 touchdowns during his junior season. Phenomenal with the ball in his hands after the catch. Makes defenders miss with his hip fluidity and ability to pull through arm tackles. Not much of a threat on 50-50 balls and question top-end speed. Projects to a Z-type receiver or potentially a slot weapon at the next level. High floor prospect who will be a significant role player early on in his career. Plays basketball as well.”

Bell currently ranks as the No. 286 player in the On300 Rankings. He also tabs in as the No. 40 wide receiver, and the fifth-best player in the state of Tennessee.
