While Marve was the first on-field assistant to leave the program under Norvell, countless off-field staffers have been hired away. That continued on Monday as defensive backs Graduate Assistant Tre' Bell accepted the cornerbacks coach job with Akron.
Bell spent the 2019 season working at Mississippi State under now Akron head coach Joe Moorhead. He spent another year in Starkville before making the move to Florida State in March. While with the Seminoles, Bell helped assist Marcus Woodson in working with the defensive backs.
