 After an impressive four year career at BSU former offensive lineman Jake Krause now begins his journey it to the NFL. And he had a huge turning point last week with impressive pro day down at the University of Minnesota. His numbers even had head head gopher's head coach PJ Fleck talking the Wadena native bench press 225 33 times at a vertical jump of 30 inches. He did what he went there to do by showing off his athleticism and strength. Having scouts looking his way. I think I really shocked him with the bench and showed some strength and I think that was kind of a question mark for them is how strong is he and you know, just film wise, I think I just kind of show a little bit of a little bit of toughness, a little bit of nasty out on the field and that's how you gotta play as an offense lineman. You know, I'm athletic and you know, I can pick up offenses pretty quickly and you know just having you know, the techniques that he brought in and taught and just kind of helped me get to get to where I need to be now. During his time as a beaver crowds, he put on both the interior and also a tackle in the trenches. Scouts are looking at him inside, but he's ready to go wherever a team needs him. I'll probably be an interior type guy. Play, you know, center guard and then you know kind of the trick of being in the pro in the pro alignment is you just gotta be able to play everything. So you know if the team gets desperate to kick off the tackle and you know, you gotta be able to do that. Kind of gotta be a jackall trades and make yourself so valuable to see him really that they have to, you know, they have to keep you.
