## Caption

The Saskatchewan Roughriders selected Michigan State defensive back Malcolm Bell with the ninth overall pick in the 2026 CFL Draft.

The Montreal native developed into a lockdown cornerback at Connecticut and continued to flourish as a starter for the Spartans in 2025. He has a prototypical frame at six-foot-one and 190 pounds with 33-inch arms, and runs well as he recorded a 4.52-second forty-yard dash at his pro day.

In total, Bell made 143 total tackles, nine tackles for loss, 19 pass knockdowns, one sack, and one forced fumble over 46 collegiate games. He will attend rookie mini-camp with the Cleveland Browns but projects as a CFL starter at cornerback.

Bell is a perfect fit for the Roughriders, who lacked depth behind All-CFL cornerback Tevaughn Campbell in 2025.
