Greg Alonzo Bell III (born June 16, 1998) is an American football running back who is a free agent. He played college football at Arizona Western, Nebraska and San Diego State.

Early life

Bell was born on June 16, 1998, to Gregory Bell and Erica Williams in San Diego, California. Bell went to high school at Bonita Vista High School in nearby Chula Vista, California. As a senior, he put up 2,632 yards and 34 touchdowns. Bell received a scholarship from San Diego State University, but he did not have sufficient grades to qualify.

College career

Arizona Western

Bell would go to Arizona Western for his first two collegiate seasons. He scored his first touchdown with the team on September 30, 2016, during a 56–0 blowout win. He would finish the season with 1,187 yards and 7 touchdowns. His 948 conference yards would lead the Western States Football League (WSFL).

In 2017, Bell put up 1,217 yards and 11 touchdowns. He had a 4-touchdown game against Eastern Arizona and a 211-yard game against Glendale.

Nebraska

Bell transferred to Nebraska in 2018. This was the first year under the new redshirt rule stating players can redshirt after four games. Over the first two games of the season, Bell mounted 168 yards on 27 attempts. However, over the next two games, he had 5 yards on 8 attempts. He lost the starting job to veteran Devine Ozigbo.

Bell left the Nebraska program on October 5, 2018, shortly after losing the starting job. He stated he had "earned the starting job and feel I have continued to work the same way but feel I am not being used to my fullest potential." He was released from his scholarship shortly after. After this, Bell posted on Twitter schools he was not allowed to transfer to. One of these schools was Oregon State. This led to Nebraska head coach Scott Frost to publicly accuse Oregon State of tampering with past transfers.

San Diego State

Bell announced his intentions to go to San Diego State University (SDSU) on March 14, 2019. He was to join the team by walking on; SDSU had no scholarships left and therefore was unable to give Bell a scholarship. Before the start of the 2019 season, Bell suffered an injury during weight training that required surgery and sidelined him for the entirety of the season.

In 2020, Bell became the first Aztec to record three straight 100-yard rushing games in a players first three games with the program. He also became the first Aztec since Rashaad Penny in 2017 to record four straight 100-yard rushing games. Bell finished the season with 637 rushing yards on 113 attempts and six touchdowns.

In 2021, Bell became the 18th 1,000 yard rusher in Aztec history. He finished the season 1,091 rushing yards on 245 attempts and 9 touchdowns. He finished with a total of 1,728 rushing yards, which is the 19th most in SDSU program history.
