"I want to get the starting spot. I'm trying to start -- help this team win games," Nebraska running back Greg Bell said Tuesday following the fifth practice of spring drills.
A heralded transfer from Arizona Western Community College, Bell doesn't seem to lack for confidence. Why should he? He was ranked by Rivals.com as the nation's No. 1 junior-college running back in the class of 2018 and glides around the field in a manner that makes football look very natural to him, according to Husker running backs coach Ryan Held.
That said, the 6-foot, 200-pound Bell, a native of Chula Vista, California, won't be handed a starting job.
