Walt Bell is entering his second season working as a graduate assistant with the football program. Bell came to Memphis after playing four seasons (2002-06) at Middle Tennessee State, where Darin Hinshaw formerly coached. A walk-on for the Blue Raiders, Bell eventually earned a scholarship and was a versatile player. He started out as a safety, but transitioned to wide receiver after several MTSU wideouts had been sidelined with injuries. In addition to working as a receiver, Bell was a consistent contributor for the special teams unit, which included serving as a holder. A native of Dickson, Tenn., Bell earned both his undergraduate and master's degrees in just four-and-a half-years. He holds a bachelor's degree in criminal justice administration (Dec., 2005) and a master's degree in sport management (Dec., 2006). Bell worked as a graduate assistant coach at UL-Lafayette before making the move to Memphis. He has also worked football camps at Minnesota and Boise State. |
