Bryce Bell (born April 3, 1998) is a Canadian professional football offensive lineman for the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League (CFL).
Bell played U Sports football for the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks from 2016 to 2019.[1] He was part of the 2016 Yates Cup championship team and played in 26 regular season games for the program over four seasons.[1] He did not play in 2020 due to the cancellation of the 2020 U Sports football season.
Bell was drafted in the second round, 11th overall, by the Calgary Stampeders in the 2021 CFL Draft and signed with the team on May 18, 2021.[2] He made the team's active roster following training camp and made his professional debut on August 7, 2021, against the Toronto Argonauts.[3] He played in 13 out of 14 regular season games in 2021 where he had three starts at right tackle and one at left tackle.[3] Bell also played in the team's West Semi-Final loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders.[3]
In 2022, Bell began the season as a backup offensive lineman, but became a starter at centre in the team's seventh game of the season following an injury to Sean McEwen.[4]
Bell was born to parents Karen and Greg Bell and has two sisters, Hilary and Kathleen.[5]
