One of my favorite HBCU players to watch in the country was Florida A&M defensive back Markquese Bell.  Bell ran an unofficial 4.45 seconds in the 40-yard dash at the 2022 NFL Combine in Indianapolis, Indiana.  

Bell is one of the four HBCU football players invited to the 2022 NFL Combine. South Carolina State cornerback Decobie Durant, Southern University OL Ja'Tyre Carter, and Fayetteville State defensive back Joshua Williams also are in attendance.

Rattlers head coach Willie Simmons posted on Twitter that Bell measured 6-2 (height), and 212 pounds (weight) at the combine.

FAMU DB Markquese Bell (measuring in at 6’2”/ 212 lbs.) just posted the 5th best vertical jump and 8th best broad jump among all Safeties at the NFL National Scouting Combine. He’s showing why he’s one of the best DBs in the country! 

OTHER HBCU PLAYERS AT THE COMBINE

Carter completed most of his on-field workouts and meetings. He measured at 6-3 (height), 311 pounds (weight), and 10 1/4 inches (hand span).

A few notable HBCU players who were not invited and must have great showings at their school's Pro Days are quarterback Aqeel Glass (AAMU), running back Ezra Gray (ASU), wide receiver Dee Anderson (AAMU), and linebacker/edge rusher James Houston.
