LB Brian Bell, named in wrongful death lawsuit, will not sign with Florida State
Brian Bell, a three-star linebacker out of Valdosta, Ga., had his scholarship offer revoked last week after Florida State decided it was in its best interest not pursue him. Bell was named last month in a $100 million wrongful death lawsuit that centers around Kendrick Johnson, a 17-year-old who was found dead inside a rolled-up mat in the Lowndes High gym in January 2013.
Johnson’s parents allege Bell, his brother and three other students were responsible for the death of their son.
The Lowndes County Sherriff's Department ruled Johnson’s death an accident, stating Johnson died of positional asphyxia after he got stuck in the mat while trying to retrieve his sneakers that were stored in the mat.
Bell was never charged with a crime or listed as a suspect during the investigation.
Lowndes High School coach Randy McPherson released a statement to the Valdosta Daily Times explaining the situation.
"Last Wednesday morning Coach Jimbo Fisher told me that the FSU Athletic Director and the President would not let him give Brian Bell a scholarship. We went to meet with the FSU President the next day. The next morning, Jimbo called me and told me that they still were not going to let him give Brian a scholarship."
Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher declined to comment about the situation, referring all questions to his administration.
Bell also had offers from Cincinnati, Clemson, Georgia Tech and Louisville. It is unknown whether the Bell family has been in contact with any of those other programs.

Cordell Broadus, son of Snoop Dogg, commits to UCLA
The rapper's son, Cordell Broadus, a four-star wide receiver from Las Vegas, made his college decision on Wednesday. While the Trojans were in the mix, Broadus picked UCLA, USC's cross-town rival.
"I just felt like that was the best place for me," Broadus said. "I have a great connection with the coaches and I want to play in front of my family out on the field and get a great degree."
Snoop's USC fandom has been well-documented, though it appeared to wane at the end of Lane Kiffin's tenure with the school. After Cordell announced his intentions to go to UCLA, Snoop appeared next to the podium wearing a UCLA jersey and said "we Bruins now."
Broadus went to Bishop Gorman High School. Bishop Gorman's coach in 2014, Tony Sanchez, is the new coach at UNLV.
"UCLA just presented the best platform for him that we thought as a family that was going to look out for him when his career was over with," Snoop said. "And that's what's important, to make sure he gets a degree and gets an education. Football is not going to be there forever, but life is, so you've got to make sure that you prepare for life."
How will Broadus fit in at UCLA. Here's Rivals.com recruiting analyst Adam Gorney's take:
"Broadus is a little bit of an enigma. He has all the physical tools to be a real special wide receiver, and at times at Bishop Gorman, he really did stand out. He's a good route runner, he has good speed and athleticism and if you throw the ball up, he's got very long arms and good hands. But he doesn't deliver all the time. That's the thing he needs to work on is his consistency. He needs to come on the field every time wanting to dominate, and he has the physical tools to do it, it's just sort of a mental thing that he needs to go out there and want to control the game."
Snoop also said he'd get rid of all his USC apparel. He had joked on the ESPN series chronicling Cordell's recruitment that he may still wear some USC drawers from time to time.
"I'm going to back him up 1,000 percent so I'm going to throw my USC drawers away," Snoop said. "I'm going UCLA 100,000 percent."
