Le'Von Bell of the Steelers

[zete]

Saw on Ch. 13 Sports this morning that Le'Von Bell was committed to play for the BG Falcons. He ended up at Michigan State.

From Wikipedia: Bell was born in Reynoldsburg, Ohio. He attended Groveport Madison High School in Groveport, Ohio, and played high school football for the Groveport Cruisers. As a sophomore Bell ran for 789 rushing yards and nine touchdowns. As a junior Bell ran for 1,100 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns, and as a senior Bell ran for 1,333 yards on 200 carries with 21 touchdowns. He was selected first-team All-Ohio Capital Conference Ohio Division as a senior. He ran as a junior, and added as a sophomore. He also earned second-team All-OCC Ohio Division honors in basketball as a junior. Bell also participated in track and field.

Considered a two-star recruit by Rivals.com, he accepted a scholarship offer from Michigan State over offers from Bowling Green, Eastern Michigan and Marshall.[2]

Clawson mentioned a few times during his tenure here that we almost had him.

To make matters worse, the way I heard this story, was that he wanted to go to O$U, but they didn't have a spot for him so an O$U assistant told Dantonio to offer and they did. So if he keeps his mouth shut he probably goes here. Not positive, but I thought they said it was Fickell who made the call to Dantonio.

However, he's on the Steelers, not the Browns.

That doesn't say much for Fickell's intelligence to keep him in the conference. Guess that explains their defensive problems too!
