Dia Bell talks about the Texas Longhorns

The Texas Longhorns landed the commitment of 2026 five-star quarterback Dia Bell on June 17 last year. He chose the Steve Sarkisian-led side over schools such as Ohio State, Penn State, Miami and LSU.

Texas extended an offer to Bell on March 19, 2024, during his unofficial visit to the campus. He took another visit to Texas in June, just before announcing his commitment. The five-star quarterback spoke about the Longhorns after his pledge.

"I really enjoyed my visits and have developed great relationships with Coach Sark and Milwee," Dia Bell said, as per On3. "They are one of the best offenses in the country and have a track record of development at my position. I’m really excited about their move to the SEC and the opportunity to help bring a championship to the 40 acres."

He also spoke about his relationship with the Longhorns' coaching staff.

"I have a great relationship with both Coach Sark and Coach Milwee. I speak more often with coach Milwee though. I have really good relationships with a lot of the coaches on staff," Bell said.

Texas' Class of 2026 is currently ranked No. 37 in the country, as per 247Sports. The program has managed to land commitments from three athletes so far from the class.
