RECRUITING: Iowa State adds Lindenwood CB Tre Bell out of transfer portal

Iowa State picked up its second commitment from its first round of transfer portal visits Friday in Lindenwood cornerback Tre Bell.

The 6-foot-3, 191-pound player made things official over social media Friday.

“I was looking for a school that matches or exceeds the culture I experienced at Lindenwood,” Bell said. “Iowa State has already showed a lot of love this week reaching out to my dad showing how much they cared.”

Bell collected 24 tackles, 6 pass breakups and an interception last season for the Lions.

The lengthy corner chose Iowa State over Kansas, West Virginia, Missouri State and Bowling Green.

Bell is a fast prospect at the cornerback spot, and said that he ran a 4.4 40-yard dash two years ago when he last ran one.

The St. Louis native has lived in the area his whole life and hopes to find a new home, which could end up being in Ames.

“I’m also really trying to get away from home – I’m from St. Louis,” Bell said. “I’ve lived here my whole life, so I’m trying to see something new.”
