Bell started two games this year before his diagnosis. He played in parts of 12 games in 2009 as a redshirt freshman, and was starting on the Bulldogs defensive line in 2010 before headaches and hand weakness prompted him to visit doctors who found a mass on his brain causing the symptoms, a tumor thought to be related to a lesion removed from Bell’s forehead two years prior. A surgery at Vanderbilt Medical Center in October removed the tumor, but the cancer had metastasized to the rest of his body after the surgery over the course of just one month.
Skin cancer. Oh, how that sucks.
