Dia Bell, a highly sought-after 4-star quarterback, has committed to the University of Texas. Bell, who is ranked as the No. 2 quarterback and No. 9 overall prospect in the 2026 class by On3, made the announcement on June 17, 2024. Standing at 6-foot-3 and weighing 200 pounds, Bell attended a Longhorns camp in Austin earlier this month. He is the son of former NBA veteran Raja Bell. This commitment is considered a significant boost for Texas, as Bell is the second recruit in the 2026 class, joining three-star running back Raycine Guillory from Aledo. Bell hails from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and plays for American Heritage High School. The elite quarterback is also referred to as a 5-star recruit.
