It has been a fascinating journey for former Notre Dame cornerback Micah Bell. Once considered a dynamic four-star athlete in the 2023 recruiting class, the Texas native decided to transfer following the spring after his lone season with the Fighting Irish. Bell eventually ended up with Vanderbilt.
Many expected Bell to fight for playing time with the Commodores, but he ended up not appearing in a single contest in 2024. Bell decided to enter the transfer portal again this offseason, and it was announced on Wednesday that he had committed to the Georgia Bulldogs. Bell’s brother Dillon Bell is currently a wide receiver on the team.
Perhaps the weirdest part about this news is that Bell is not playing on the defensive side of the football anyone, instead transitioning over to offense. At just 5-10 and 180 pounds, he is now listed as a running back for Georgia. It was a position that Bell played in high school, rushing for 2,590 yards and 27 touchdowns.
When Bell came out of the Kincaid School in Houston, Texas, he was considered a four-star recruit on the 247Sports Composite ranking. That ranking also had Bell pegged as the No. 237 overall player and No. 27 cornerback in the 2023 recruiting class. He opted for the Irish over an offer list that included Georgia, Florida, Michigan, LSU, Oregon, Arkansas, Colorado, and Baylor among many others.
One of the biggest appeals about Bell is his dynamic speed. He was an outstanding track and field athlete coming out of the Kincaid School, including posting a personal best of 10.45 seconds in the 100-meter dash, 20.89 in the 200-meter, 24 '5 ¼” in the long jump, and 45 ‘9 ½” in the triple jump. You were betting on an athlete, and hoping it translated to the football field more consistently.
