Dia Bell's NBA Star Dad Reacts to His Elite 11 MVP Honor

Dia Bell's NBA Star Dad Reacts to His Elite 11 MVP Honor originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The crown jewel of Texas' 2026 recruiting class is five-star quarterback Dia Bell. Bell verbally committed to the Longhorns on June 17, 2024, and has held a strong pledge ever since. The American Heritage (Fort Lauderdale, FL) product is ranked the No. 3 quarterback in the nation and the No. 1 overall prospect in Florida for the 2026 recruiting class, according to 247Sports composite. Advertisement Bell has amassed numerous accolades up to this point. The latest achievement, and perhaps one of the hardest to obtain, came this week when Bell was announced the Elite 11 Finals MVP. The Elite 11 is a highly selective competition for the top high school quarterbacks across the country. Bell demonstrated exceptional skills, poise and leadership throughout the competition. He also became the first Texas commit to win the Elite 11 MVP. Bell's father, former NBA star Raja Bell, offered a sincere congratulations to his son for winning the award amongst so many incredible quarterbacks. "A truly amazing experience getting to watch some incredible quarterbacks compete and bond," Raja Bell said. Bell was also named the 2024 Gatorade Player of the Year in Florida. He threw for 2,597 yards before suffering a season-ending lower leg injury in the Class 4A regional semifinals. Advertisement Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian has seemingly turned Austin into a quarterback factory. Aside from quarterback phenom Arch Manning, Bell may be the next up and coming name that fans will remember for the foreseeable future.

How Bruckheimer Made the F1 Movie Despite Intense Real-Life Rivalries

Hannah Elliott here, and I've got a disclaimer for you: This is not a movie review. I'm not here to critique the dialogue, the character development or the perfunctory love connection in F1: The Movie, in theaters on June 27. I didn't go in looking for chitchat. I wanted racing. That's what I got. Starring Brad Pitt, Damson Idris and Javier Bardem, the film shines brightest when it's speaking to those who don't think they're into motor sports while winking at those of us who do. (Our film critic said it made her feel like a Formula One fan.)

This Dividend King Stands Out as a Long-Term Favorite

PepsiCo, Inc. (NASDAQ:PEP) is one of the best dividend stocks for a bear market. In uncertain times, investing in a dividend-paying stock that has seen a significant drop in price can be a smart move, provided the company's long-term fundamentals remain strong. A close up of a glass of a refreshing carbonated beverage illustrating the company's different beverages. PepsiCo, Inc. (NASDAQ:PEP) fits that description well. Despite a nearly 14% decline in its share price since the beginning of 2025, the company maintains its reputation as a Dividend King, with 53 consecutive years of dividend increases. The latest boost, which was a 5% rise, was announced alongside its Q4 2024 earnings. Such a consistent track record reflects a solid business strategy that performs well regardless of market conditions. PepsiCo, Inc. (NASDAQ:PEP) dividend history speaks to its disciplined management and operational strength. However, recent challenges have emerged. In April, the company lowered its annual profit outlook, citing rising production costs and weaker consumer spending, pressures linked to economic uncertainty stemming from wide-reaching tariffs introduced by President Donald Trump. Even so, analysts view these issues as temporary. Once the broader economic environment stabilizes, demand is expected to recover. PepsiCo, Inc. (NASDAQ:PEP) currently offers a quarterly dividend of $1.4225 per share and has a dividend yield of 4.4%, as of June 17. While we acknowledge the potential of PEP as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.
