San Diego WR working hard
Tall and lanky are two good qualities for super models and wide receivers. George Bell from San Diego, Calif., at 6-foot-4 and 170-pounds sure fits the bill, as a receiver that is. Bell is also pretty quick running a 4.45 in the 40.
"George has a nice frame and will be able to add weight once he gets with a D-I program," San Diego coach Glenn Goings said. "He's a special player who had the whole Pac-10 by this past spring."

Other colleges that came by the school are San Diego State, Cal State Sacramento, Boise State, Fresno State, Weber State and Idaho State.
"George has the height that D-I schools love," Goings said. "He has a great ability to get down field and he has a great vertical."
"Another thing to like about George is he's a solid leader and has great character," Goings said. "He's also good in the classroom and carries a 3.5 GPA. He will predict with ease."
"George runs good and accurate routes," Goings said. "You can tell he has worked hard on improving his routes during the off-season."
"You can tell that hard work has paid off just by watching our passing league games," Goings said. "He's running sharp and crisp routes."
As the second wide receiver a year ago, Bell hauled in 24 receptions for 415 yards while averaging 17.3 yards per catch with a long catch of 80 yards.
Bell was able to achieve his stats in only eight games as he missed to games due to injuries.
What is Bell looking for in a school?
"I'm looking to get a good education," Bell said. "I'm also going to consider the area around the school and a good college environment."
"How the football program is doing will also be a consideration," Bell said. "I wouldn't mind going to a school that is working to become competitive and help them become successful."
Bell has a top five schools of Oregon, Oregon State, Washington, USC and Oklahoma. All five schools have shown Bell recruiting interest.
"I went to USC's junior day and had a lot of fun," Bell said. "It was way different from any other junior day I ever heard of."
