When Ronnie Bell committed to Michigan in December 2017, it wasn’t something that garnered a lot of positive attention, given that he was a three-star and was quite unheralded as a recruit. But the former Missouri Valley basketball commit has come on strong as of late since joining the team.

In 2019, he was stellar, leading the team with 44 receptions for 705 yards and one touchdown — unthinkable given the Wolverines trio of Nico Collins, Donovan Peoples-Jones and Tarik Black.

As such, when the team was handing out regular season awards at the annual Schemmy Awards at Crisler Center, Bell was awarded the Offensive Skill Player, a designation given to the best skill player.

The nominees were Bell, Nico Collins, Sean McKeon and Donovan Peoples-Jones.

Michigan football had a lot of standouts this season, but some came as if from out of nowhere.

That’s why the Most Improved Player Award is a coveted designation for a player who wasn’t a household name in previous years.

At the Schemmy Awards, hosted by Jon Jansen at Crisler Center, one player from each of the three units — offense, defense and special teams — each got to bring home a replica of the Bo Schembechler statue.

On offense, redshirt freshman running back Hassan Haskins won the award. He spent much of the 2018 season on defense at linebacker before becoming the starting RB in 2019. Haskins had 103 carries for 561 yards and 4 touchdowns.

On defense, junior safety Brad Hawkins won the award. He had 53 tackles in 2019.

On special teams, it was Peter Bush who took home the Schemmy. He registered one tackle in 2019.
