Purdue Football Player Countdown: #3 David Bell

We knew today’s guy was going to be good, but we didn’t know how good.

Indianapolis, IN (Warren Central HS)

6’2”, 205 pounds

Wide Receiver

2020 Projection: Starter at Wide Receiver

I think we actually undersell what Bell did last season because of what Rondale Moore did the previous year. Bell matched Moore by being the Big Ten’s Freshman of the Year and being Freshman of the Week 4 times. He finished the season with 86 receptions for 1,035 yards and 7 touchdowns, which are fantastic numbers for any receiver, let alone a true freshman.
