Blake Jarwin and Blake Bell first shared a football field in December 2013. The Bedlam game in Stillwater.
Bell was playing – man, was he playing. And Jarwin was watching – in his second year at OSU as a non-scholarship player, Jarwin had to take the field for a game and didn’t that day.
The two Blakes soon will share a field every work day. Jarwin has become a Dallas Cowboy mainstay; he signed a four-year contract with the Cowboys last week and has become their No. 1 tight end. And this week, Bell signed a contract with Dallas that in effect makes him Jarwin’s backup, after five NFL seasons as a tight end.
