<p>Iowa football coach Kirk Ferentz has promoted director of
on-campus recruiting Kelvin Bell to recruiting coordinator,
Ferentz announced Friday.</p>
<p>Bell, who held his on-campus recruiting position for the past two
years and will also be a defensive assistant, takes over for Seth
Wallace, now Iowa's linebackers coach.</p>
<p>"Kelvin will be a very positive addition to our coaching staff,”
Ferentz said in a statement. “As a former player and an Iowa
graduate, he possesses an extensive understanding of our Hawkeye
football culture, which is built on character, academics and
player development.”</p>
<p>A native of Olive Branch, Miss., Bell redshirted as a Hawkeye
defensive lineman in 2000, then had his career cut short by
injury.</p>
<p>He was a graduate assistant at Iowa from 2012-13 after previous
assistant coaching experience at Iowa City Regina High School
(2004-06), Cornell College (2006-07), Wayne State College
(2008-09) and Trinity International University (2011).</p>
<p>“In 2012, Coach Ferentz gave me a chance to return to Iowa
football as a graduate assistant,” Bell said in a statement. “I
was thrilled to be able to work for one of the best men in this
profession and contribute to the success of my alma mater. </p>
<p>“My experiences these past four years, both on and off the field,
have been invaluable toward my development in the coaching
profession. I’m thankful for the opportunity to continue my career
as a member of the Iowa football coaching staff.”</p>
