Moorhead is targeting Billy Fessler, who was a quarterback for Penn State while Moorhead served as the team’s offensive coordinator from 2016-17.
Fessler most recently was an offensive graduate assistant at Ohio State in 2020. He also had the same role for Moorhead while he was head coach at Mississippi State in 2019.
Now Moorhead wants to bring him on his staff at Akron.
