Bell originally committed to Oregon State in late January over offers from Illinois, Nevada, New Mexico, and Washington State at the time. This spring, both Utah and BYU extended offers to Bell; it's currently unclear if the Utes or Cougars will now move into prime contention for the Lake Oswego standout.
With Bell's decommitment, Oregon State is left with a trio of commitments from quarterback Deagan Rose, wide receiver Cynai Thomas, and defensive end Noah Tishendorf.
"After a long discussion with my family, i have decided to reopen my recruitment," Bell said in a statement posted on X. "This was not an easy decision, and i have so much respect and love for Coach Bray, Coach Pickering, and the entire Oregon State staff for believing in me. I’m excited for what’s next in my journey and feel truly blessed for where God is leading me."
