Draft Scouting Report

Pro Comparison: Dawand Jones
Summary

Standing nearly 6-foot-9 with massive 36-inch arms, Markel Bell is a towering presence at left tackle. He uses his rare length and grip strength to shut down defenders, but his height can be a disadvantage if he stands too upright. When he plays with a low stance and good leverage, he is an immovable "brick wall" with high-end NFL potential.

About
  • 2025: Third-team All-ACC
  • 2024-25: Allowed 3 sacks, 30 hurries (0 sacks, 16 hurries in 2025)
Strengths
  • Elite physical frame with rare 36.5-inch arm length and reach.
  • Massive power and grip strength that makes disengaging nearly impossible.
  • Smooth footwork and balance when handling stunts and speed rushers.
Weaknesses
  • Struggles with consistency when playing with a high pad level.
  • Susceptible to inside counters and spin moves when oversetting.
  • Occasionally leans forward and loses balance by leading with his head.
Combine Data
  • 40-yard dash: 5.36 seconds
