Should we move Jaheim Bell to wideout?
- Thread starter cockn'fyr
- Start date
he's a hybrid guy....a great mismatch for defenses. He's a TE/H, WR (Inside or out, slot or #1), RB, FB. Easily one of our best overall players....probably the best overall player in the program.
I was actually thinking; if the RB room gets thin at all next year, could he become a RB, kinda like Atl has used Cordarrelle Patterson this year. We have Stogner coming in as a stud TE, but then Bell is pretty good at the TE spot himself. One thing for sure, we need to make him a focal point of the offense somehow, somewhere next year.

As well as Dak and JuJu, move them around and keep them guessing!
True flex player, effective at every skill position with weight that keeps him from being a liability at any, maybe a little light at in-line TE but I think holds his own. Probably won't need to take a lot of reps at TE with Stogner and Kenion, may get more RB snaps next year. To be he's our best H- back and close to the best at all the other positions. Exciting, though what he'll do next year.
If Dak's confidence boost from yesterday can fuel his growth at receiver, he'll be lethal in the slot. Play design in this passing attack will get scary if he can nail down the finer points and take over in the slot.
Edit: Juju makes for real match-up problems motioning out of the backfield.
keep him where he is, but he definitely can be moved around.....he reminds me of Kyle Pitts from Florida
Zavier Short, our most recent commitment from Chapin, is also a hybrid guy. He can play every position that Bell plays, which makes Bell even more versatile. Put them both on the field at the same time.
Can we give the freshman a cave to enroll before anointing him? Dude is gonna have to learn the playbook, get in the weightroom and hehe sure he's ready did the grind, adjust to the game speed. Never put too much in a freshman.
Teams play freshman all the time. I see no reason for Short to sit on the bench when he can play and make one of our best playmakers more versatile and more valuable. You must have missed what @Wes Mitchell had to say about Short when he flipped his commitment to the Gamecocks.
Inside the commitment: Zavier Short
Chapin (S.C.) class of 2022 wide receiver/tight end Zavier Short went public with a commitment to South Carolina Tuesday night as he flipped his pledge from Appalachian State to South Carolina. Short was the third #WelcomeHome from Shane Beamer's Tweet on Monday night with the other two of...

This. He is an offensive coordinators dream and defensive coordinators nightmare.
Go no huddle and move him every down and the only way you can count him is with a like safety like Clemson had with Simmons(?)
I talked with co-workers today about what a great player Bell has become. He came in with a good set of physical tools and is a straight up stud. I recall he had a nice offer list and is a mismatch most of the time. Maybe a shot at being a running back in the mold of Derrick Henry if he’s needed to shore up depth. They are the same height and Bell could add a little more weight. Seems to have the speed to help us anywhere really.
Big time playmaker...he needs to be all over the field.
I don't know where they will play him but the guys a stud and he needs to have more touches each game, built like a linebacker, speedy like a back and catches the darn ball. If they don't get the ball in his hands more they are missing something.
Put him wherever he can get at least 7-10 touches/targets per game.
Dude's a match-up nightmare and a difference maker.
