Greg Bell feels sense of urgency to become Nebraska's starting running back

LINCOLN — Greg Bell has made a football career of slipping through small spaces. That is how much of his highlight film from high school begins, and it’s why his Arizona Western teammates nicknamed him “The Eel.”

But standing against the wall in a Hawks Center hallway surrounded by reporters Tuesday morning, not even the former junior college All-America running back could find daylight.

“It’s way different than juco,” Bell said with a smile. “A lot of people, media and stuff like that. There’s no media in juco.”

The 6-foot, 200-pound San Diego native is finding himself adjusting to many new things at Nebraska this spring.
