A special message from Bethel Head Football Coach Dino Kaklis on Michael Jasper's Signing of Contract with Buffalo Bills

"I wanted to take a minute to let everyone know that Bethel University Football First Ever NFL Draft Pick, Michael Jasper (7th Round - Pick #245), signed his contract with the Buffalo Bills earlier today.

This is just the beginning for Mike. He now has to get through camp - competing every day to earn a roster spot. He will be on his way to camp later this evening. Please keep him in your daily thoughts and prayers.

Words cannot express how proud I am of Mike. This is an amazing opportunity many people can only dream of; it is a testament of his hard work and dedication throughout the years."

Testimonial

"Bethel University offers students a unique academic environment that is both challenging and nurturing. Not only will students be pushed to be scholars in their field of study, they will also be challenged to grow deeper in their relationship with Jesus Christ; these are characteristics I strive to model to all my music students."
