Arkansas State offensive coordinator Walt Bell will take over the same position on DJ Durkin’s staff at Maryland, the school announced on Sunday morning.
The 31-year-old Bell is the latest major addition to Maryland’s staff and gives the defensive-minded Durkin another up-and-coming coach who has also established himself as an energetic recruiter. Bell served as the offensive coordinator, assistant head coach and quarterbacks coach at Arkansas State the past two seasons.
“Walt is one of the brightest offensive minds in college football and I’m excited to have him on my staff,” Durkin said in a statement. “He has a track record of being part of some of the most potent offenses in college football and he’s going to bring that exciting brand of football to Maryland.
