At 27, Walt Bell has big role with Tar Heels, ACC
Posted Apr 14, 2012
Walt Bell, who is in charge of UNC’s tight ends, is the youngest assistant coach in the ACC. Though the 27-year-old may be half the age of UNC secondary coach Dan Disch — and only five years older than Tar Heels tight end Nelson Hurst — Bell’s background has helped his position group transition to a new style of play after head coach Larry Fedora was hired in December.
