Hey Coach,
My name is Christian Bell, and I eat, sleep and breathe football! I've been playing since I was 5 years old; from day one, it has always been my goal to play collegiate football, while becoming the first person in my family to attend and graduate from college. I am driven to become the best version of myself no matter what it takes. I'm very versatile and can play any position on the field. I study each position and what they do to ensure my team has the best chance to win. This year, my sophomore year, I was given the opportunity to learn a new position - left guard. I embraced this challenge, and became the only starting sophomore on the team.
As it pertains to other recruits in my class, they tend to only play one or two positions. Over the years, I have played over eight positions, and excelled at tight end, middle linebacker, defensive end and offensive guard. Personally, I feel that is one of the attributes that separates me from the pack. However, for me, football is more than just a game. It is an outlet for me, a safe place to direct my anger, frustrations, heartaches and disappointments...to work through emotions and find peace. I love the brotherhood, the teamwork and the grind. I have also been inspired by my coaches to work hard, give my all all of the time, and to give back to my community. I look forward to my future, and hope I can join your roster and contribute from day one.
