"1. Dia Bell – Texas

Dia Bell put together one of the cleanest workouts I’ve recently seen at an Elite 11 Regional. He has textbook arm action. The ability to efficiently get the ball up and out is outstanding. Bell is one of the cleanest throwers in the 2026 cycle, whether in the pocket or on the move. He has such an excellent feel for touch and places the ball only where his receivers can catch it. He’s not just hitting pass catchers in the chest; he’s leading them to the open space. Not to mention, he’s just as accurate on the move as he is within the pocket. The footwork is terrific, everything is within his framework, and he ties his upper and lower halves together to generate power on every throw. Bell doesn’t necessarily have a bazooka, but his football cuts through the wind and is on time consistently. He has plenty of arm to make every single throw that could be asked of him on the field, and he was able to push the ball vertically despite some strong winds in his face. He has every opportunity to walk out of the Elite 11 Finals as the top passer at the event. – On3 National Scout Cody Bellaire"
