Kanya Bell to San Jose State: Spartans Land 4-Star WR Prospect
San Jose State has received a significant boost to its 2015 class with the commitment of 4-star wide receiver Kanya Bell.
Jimmy Durkin of the San Jose Mercury News shared news of the commitment and comments from head coach Ron Caragher:
Bell, who transferred from Diamond Bar to Long Beach Poly High School in advance of his senior season, is rated as the No. 28 wide receiver and No. 32 player from the state of California in the 2015 class, per 247Sports' composite rankings.
More than anything else, he brings speed to the table. He has the wheels to threaten secondaries over the top, but he's also quick and elusive, capable of creating separation and then making defenders miss in space.
Size will be a factor. At 6'0" and only 160 pounds, it looks like a light breeze could knock him off of his route. His quickness and change-of-direction skills will help him quell that problem, but he will still have to add some bulk to his frame before making an impact at the collegiate level, whether he plays wide receiver or cornerback.
Still, even if he doesn't make much noise as a freshman, Bell's skill set points to a very high upside. He is an exciting playmaker with a bright future.
