Doug Bell made his mark on the offensive line for the Cardinals in the early 1970s. He began his collegiate career as a tight end but found his true calling at the center position. Bell was the team's starting center as a junior and senior in 1971 and 1972. He was voted team co-captain at the start of his senior campaign and went on to earn the team's co-Most Valuable Player Award following the season. He was the fourth Ball State football player to earn All-America honors as he was named to the 1972 Kodak (College Division) All-America first team.
