Florida State has secured only one defensive lineman for their 2025 recruiting class: four-star defensive tackle Kevin Wynn. The Seminoles need to bring in more talent for this position, especially after recent decommitments, and are actively exploring additional options.
On Monday, FSU offered a scholarship to Caleb Bell, a three-star defensive lineman from Milton, Georgia, who is currently committed to Arkansas. Bell shared the news of his new offer on X.com, tagging FSU defensive tackles coach Odell Haggins and high school relations assistant Gerard Ross in his post.
Other programs, including Texas, NC State, and Mississippi State, are also showing interest in Bell. Texas, which extended an offer in August, is expected to host him for a visit this fall.
Bell is the high school teammate of CJ Wiley, a four-star wide receiver committed to FSU, and together they helped Milton win the Georgia AAAAAAA state championship in 2023. In his junior season, Bell recorded 75 tackles (10 for loss), 17 quarterback hurries, 8.5 sacks, one pass breakup, and one interception, according to MaxPreps. So far in his senior season, the 6-foot-3, 270-pound athlete has tallied 30 tackles, 6 sacks, and 5.5 tackles for loss.
Ranked as the 67th defensive lineman in the nation and the 74th overall player in Georgia, Bell is the son of former NFL linebacker Kendrell Bell, who played at Georgia before being drafted in the second round by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2001, where he was named NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.
