Tai Bell Powers Jet Academy Through EYBL Session IV with Efficient Two-Way Play
Jet Academy continues to produce high-level talent on the Nike EYBL circuit, and Class of 2028 guard Tai Bell made sure his name was part of the conversation during EYBL Session IV.
The 6-foot-3 guard delivered a complete weekend, showcasing his scoring ability, playmaking, defensive activity, and efficiency against some of the nation's top grassroots programs. Competing for Jet Academy EYBL, Bell consistently impacted winning while proving he can contribute in multiple ways.
Bell opened the session with 21 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds, and 2 steals against Team Durant before following it up with arguably his best performance of the weekend, finishing with 23 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 steals against Team Final.
He continued his strong play against Team Melo, recording 11 points, 6 assists, 4 steals, and 2 rebounds, then closed the session with 19 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, and zero turnovers against Team Takeover.
Across the four-game stretch, Bell averaged:
• 18.5 points
• 5.3 assists
• 3.8 rebounds
• 2.5 steals
Perhaps even more impressive than the counting stats was his efficiency. Bell shot 58% from the field and 90% from the free throw line, while taking care of the basketball against elite EYBL competition.
Representing Jet Academy, Bell continues to demonstrate the poise and versatility college coaches value in a lead guard. Whether creating offense for teammates, attacking the rim, or making defensive plays, he consistently influenced the game on both ends of the floor.
While Bell plays his high school basketball at Christopher Columbus High School in Florida, his performances with Jet Academy EYBL continue to elevate his national profile as coaches evaluate prospects during the live period. His size, feel for the game, efficient scoring, and ability to impact winning have made him one of the more intriguing guards in the Class of 2028.
Jet Academy once again proved why it remains one of the premier programs on the Nike EYBL circuit, consistently placing talented prospects on one of grassroots basketball’s biggest stages. Tai Bell’s performance during Session IV only added to that reputation, delivering another strong showing against elite national competition while continuing to build momentum heading into the remainder of the EYBL season.
