The college football transfer portal opened nationally on Monday, and Iowa State already has a visitor secured for the weekend.

Lindenwood cornerback Tre Bell will be on campus Wednesday-Friday checking out Ames and the program at Iowa State.

“They’ve just been talking about how they see me and how they like my film… stuff like that,” Bell said of his conversations with Iowa State. “We’ll really probably get into more detail when I get up there.”

The 6-foot-3, 191-pound cornerback secured 24 tackles, 6 pass breakups and an interception last season for the Lions.

The long cornerback already has offers from Missouri State and Bowling Green, and has been reached out to by Kent State and Ole Miss.

“I’m looking for a school that matches or exceeds the culture I experienced at Lindenwood,” Bell said. “Iowa State has already showed a lot of love this week reaching out to my dad showing how much they cared.”

Bell is a fast prospect at the cornerback spot, and said that he ran a 4.4 40-yard dash two years ago when he last ran one.

The St. Louis native has lived in the area his whole life and hopes to find a new home, which could end up being in Ames.

“I’m also really trying to get away from home – I’m from St. Louis,” Bell said. “I’ve lived here my whole life, so I’m trying to see something new.”
