Mississippi State football player Nick Bell died November 2, 2010, one day after undergoing emergency surgery in his battle against cancer.
A third-year sophomore defensive end from Bessemer, Ala., Bell started the first two games this season for MSU before being sidelined by headaches and numbness in his arms and hands. On Oct. 1, he underwent surgery to remove a malignant tumor from his brain.
He was on the sidelines cheering for his teammates during MSU’s Oct. 23 victory over UAB but took a turn for the worse over the past weekend.
Bell played in 16 games for the Bulldogs, earning four starts. Bell played in the first four games of the 2010 season, and started against Auburn and Georgia. He recorded 22 total tackles in his career, including seven this season. He was credited with one tackle for loss in the season opener against Memphis and another against LSU.
Mississippi State Athletic Department will establish a memorial fund for the Bell family through the Bulldog Club. More details will be available online at www.MStateAthletics.com and donations can be made by calling 662-325-3074.
