DORIAN BELL, Gateway HS (Monroeville) LB
The early favorite as the No. 1 prospect for next year, the 6’1” 210 pounder has already been called by Gateway head coach Terry Smith “the best athlete I’ve ever coached.” Considering that Gateway has recently put more major prospects into college than any school in PA—including NFL-bound cornerback Justin King—that’s saying a lot. Bell is not big yet, but he is tough, aggressive, active, fast and athletic. He already has approximately 30 offers, including Pitt, Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan, West Virginia, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida State, California and Virginia Tech. When the first set of national rankings come out, Bell could be the No. 1 ranked linebacker prospect in the country for 2009, as well as one of the top ten athletes overall. His college choices are wide open now, although has expressed interest to leave the area. He does admit that may change

That's a mighty undersized ILB.

Those are old combine numbers, I've heard he's as big as 220 now, but haven't seen anything concrete. Remember that Phillip Wheeler was undersized and Tenuta turned him into quite the player.

It probably won't matter anyway though. From what I've seen Dorian hasn't seemed to show much interest in ND thus far.

Dorian picked up an official offer from Coach Weis yesterday but judging by his response to the offer it sounds like they have some work to do to get him to come to ND.

It's not as if he didn't sound open to ND but he didn't sound all that excited either.

He still has another year in HS to play anyway.
