Say the name Chance Bell. \u00a0It has a ring to it doesn’t it? \u00a0That sounds like the kind of football name that you would remember and one so perfect for a running back. \u00a0However, \u00a0there’s more to the prospect than the name alone. If you’ve had a chance encounter with Bell on the football field, \u00a0your ankles are likely still mad at you for it. \u00a0Bell is a cut master and we are not talking on two turntables.<\/p>\n

Bell was a sophomore sensation for The Burroughs High School Indians in Burbank, California. \u00a0Moving from Las Vegas to Burbank, \u00a0Bell led Burroughs in rushing with 1,150 yards on just 15o carries (7.5 average). \u00a0In so doing, \u00a0Bell became the first sophomore in the school’s history to rush for 1,o00 yards. The sophomore prospect\u00a0will dazzle you with vision, footwork and change of direction. \u00a0He flashes the elements that really excite college football coaches. \u00a0Bell will remind you of a young Edgerrin James who could slice an opposing defense like a butcher cuts meat. \u00a0 For defenders it has to seem as though Bell has eyes on the side of his head as he makes moves on defenders that would appear to be outside of his peripheral vision.<\/p>\n

Bell’s production will only increase as he adds size, strength and speed to his frame. \u00a0I can see him becoming a nightmare and three straight 1,000 yard season would appear to be a formality barring injury. \u00a0Watching Bell, \u00a0you realize instantly that he has likely been carrying the football for as long as he can remember. \u00a0Natural runners like Bell are what record breaking running backs are made of. I do not know the rushing records at Burroughs high school but I am fairly certain Bell will own them by the time he walks across the stage to grab his diploma.<\/p>\n

Running back like Chance Bell is a\u00a0problem for defenders in the open field as he does a solid job of setting up blocks and defenders for his myriad of jukes, fakes and escapes. Burroughs has not been a perennial power in Southern California but I suspect that their respect level will go up with Bell in the backfield toting the mail. \u00a0He is definitely one to watch out for in coming seasons as a top prospect in a hot bed of college football talent like Southern Cal. \u00a0Opposing teams and their defenders will spend the next two seasons trying to avoid wearing a dunce cap on Bell’s future highlight reels.<\/p>\n
