Football

Dia Bell is the son of former NBA star Raja Bell, and while he does star on his high school basketball team, he's made a name for himself as an elite quarterback. “My dad always encouraged me to play all sports so I could figure out what I liked the best,” Bell told Sports Illustrated. “I played soccer, baseball, tennis, basketball and football when I was younger. My dad said that he would support me in whatever my passion was. Sports or not." Football became his passion, though, especially after he threw for 1,929 yards and 20 touchdowns during his sophomore year of high school. "I always liked both football and basketball growing up. My family are big football fans. My grandfather played wide receiver in college and worked in the athletic department at the University of Miami when they were winning national championships. I put on pads for the first time when I was in third grade, and I’ve been hooked ever since.”
