Raja Bell’s Son, Dia, Emerges as Elite 5-Star QB Prospect and Texas Commit

The future of Texas Longhorns football just got even brighter with the commitment of Dia Bell, a five-star quarterback prospect from American Heritage High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The son of former NBA veteran Raja Bell, Dia has quickly established himself as one of the top recruits in the 2026 class.

According to 247Sports, Bell holds a 98 rating and ranks as the No. 5 quarterback and No. 24 overall player nationally. His 247Sports Composite rating is an impressive 0.9914, placing him as the No. 3 quarterback and No. 12 overall player in the country.

At 6-foot-2 with poise, arm talent, and athletic pedigree, Bell has drawn attention not just for his performance on the field, but also for his leadership and maturity beyond his years. His commitment to Texas adds to Steve Sarkisian’s already strong quarterback room and signals the program’s continued dominance on the recruiting trail.

With deep ties to elite athleticism and a rapidly rising profile, Dia Bell is a name to watch as one of the faces of the 2026 recruiting cycle—and potentially, the future of Longhorn football.
