UNC's Corey Bell Making 'Seamless' Transition To Wide Receiver

Posted Jul 29, 2019
As Corey Bell Jr. went home to Charlotte for spring break in March, he received a call from UNC cornerbacks coach Dré Bly. Bly explained to Bell he had a conversation with coach Mack Brown and new receivers coach Lonnie Galloway. They wanted him to make the switch from cornerback to slot receiver, a position Bell hadn’t played since middle school. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
