Auburn is being projected by many as a potential spoiler in the SEC West this offseason. To help accomplish those lofty expectations, the Tigers offensive line will reportedly be gaining some additional assistant from Wilson Bell, a former starting offensive lineman from Florida State.
According to Keith Niebuhr of Auburn Undercover, the 6-foot-5, 320-pound Bell has chosen to take advantage of the graduate transfer rule and has decided to finish his college playing career with Auburn. Bell will be eligible immediately for the 2017 season once he graduates from FSU.
Bell started off and on for FSU last season after starting the entire 2015 season at right guard for the Seminoles. Bell chose to sign with Florida State coming out of high school over Auburn and Ole Miss. This move will be a homecoming of sorts, as Bell is a native of Mobile, Ala.
