Quotes from S Vonn Bell (24/7):
“I talked to Coach (Mack) Brown today and he's really looking forward to me coming down there,” said Bell. “I’ll be heading down there this weekend. We'll be on the road Saturday and should arrive late that night probably. We'll stay through Sunday. I'll be watching their Orange-White scrimmage game so that will be real cool. I’m excited about it.”
“I want to check out the academic side of Texas,” Bell told Hookem.com. “That's extremely important to me to get a good education. I also want to see and meet the coaching staff, along with the players. I want to see what kind of vibe I get from them all and see how they all work together. I also want to get a good feel for the surroundings and see how the atmosphere really is around there. Everyone should be at the scrimmage game, so it should be a good one.”
“They have great tradition," he explained. "That really sticks out. A tradition of winning is big. Plus Coach Mack Brown is a great coach and I really like him. He seems like a great guy who would be good to play for. Besides him, they also have Coach (Duane) Akina, who's one of the best defensive backs coach in college football."
“His accomplishments really stand out to me," Bell said of Akina. "He's taken a whole bunch of players to the next level. He's coached them up where they can showcase their talents to the NFL and they get drafted and play. I see those results and I know that he knows what he's doing, there's no doubt. We're looking real forward to meeting him and getting to know him better."
"Being offered by Texas was surprising," Bell told Hookem.com. "Texas is just a big time college and that's a big time offer. On top of that, they don't really go outside of the state of Texas when recruiting. So when I got it, it meant a lot to me and my family. We were just thrilled about that offer."
