Georgia football 2022 signee Dillon Bell

Dillon Bell signed with the Dawgs during the February signing period, and this Texas receiver will be someone to watch out for during the summer and fall camp portion of the offseason.

At 6-2 and 205-pounds, he is already college size and will be someone to consider as a deep threat for the Dawgs.

According to 247Sports Composite rankings, the Houston native ranked as the No. 66 receiver and the No. 67 player out of Texas. He had 31 offers and picked the Dawgs after a long recruiting process.

Bell is fast for his size, as his 247Sports profile said he runs an 11.34 100-meter dash.

He recorded 102 catches for 1,344 yards and 17 touchdowns during his high school career. He also toted the rock and finished with 258 carries for 1,746 yards and 39 touchdowns.

Bell did it all during his high school career, but he is supposed to be a receiver. That frame, vision, and ability to create separation make him a great target. However, he is still learning to be one since he played so many different positions in high school.

Plus, the fact that he has experience running the ball could allow Georgia to use him in those in-and-around situations.

He will get to Athens this summer and could be someone Georgia red shirts because of all the playmakers in front of him, but that isn’t a bad thing. Bell will likely need some time to adjust to the fast SEC defensive backs, but he has the upside you want to see out of a young receiver.

Bell is fluid, though, and already runs solid routes, so some development from Bryan McClendon will only elevate him.
