Bell is taking his talents to the next level after just one season with the Seminoles. After one season with the Seminoles, Florida State tight end Jaheim Bell revealed via Twitter his intention to join the 2024 NFL Draft. Bell, a transfer from South Carolina, was a gadget player for the Seminoles, working at tight end and running back on occasion. During his tenure in Tallahassee, the Lake City, FL native accounted for 503 yards on 39 receptions and two touchdowns, with another touchdown on the ground. He has 1,260 receiving yards and nine touchdowns in his career, along with 406 yards and four scores on the run.
“WOW! 13-0. MY DECISION TO COME TO FLORIDA STATE WAS ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS OF MY LIFE. THIS JOURNEY HAS BEEN UNBELIEVABLE AND THE SUCCESS WE’VE ENJOYED AS A TEAM THIS YEAR HAS BEEN TRULY REMARKABLE AND SOMETHING I WILL ALWAYS CHERISH AND NEVER FORGET.
