Trinity Bell commits to Tennessee

Trinity Bell commits to Tennessee.

Tennessee has ventured into Jeremy Pruitt’s home state to secure another commitment, this time in 6-foot-7 2021 tight end Trinity Bell of Albertville.

Bell’s commitment gives UT its sixth 2021 commit from Alabama.

He chose Tennessee over Auburn, announcing his commitment on Friday.

Bell released his top two earlier in the week, but Tennessee’s recruiting tandem of tight ends coach Joe Osovet and inside linebackers coach Brian Niedermeyer did enough to secure an early commitment.

Bell is a 3-star prospect who plays tight end at Albertville High School, but is listed as the No. 37 athlete in the country on the 247Sports Composite. Also an impressive defensive player at the prep level, Bell could be molded into several different positions at Tennessee.

If he remains at tight end, Bell joins Miles Campbell as the second tight end in a 2021 recruiting class that is No. 2 in the country.
