Wildcat players that took part were: defensive lineman Cliff Barna (Ocala, FL), running back Terrance Bell (Huntingdon, TN), quarterback Ronnie Jankovich (Dyer, IN), defensive back Jonathan Laster (Palm Springs, CA), tight end Buck Reed (Eight Mile, AL) and running back Adrain Smith (Ocala, FL).

Players were measured, performed multiple tests such as a 225 lbs. bench press repetition, standing broad jumps, 40-yard dash times and other position specific tests.

“Its exciting,” said Bethel College Head Coach Dino Kaklis. “Having this much attention right here in McKenzie, Tennessee proves that we at Bethel College are elevating the program to where we want to be. Its an honor to have several guys playing for us that the NFL is willing to take time to look at as possible professional players of the future. I think our guys represented Bethel well today and I hope they get an opportunity to play the sport they love for a living.”

When asked about how the Bethel Pro Day has grown into a showcase that other schools want to participate in, Coach Kaklis said, “we are fortunate at Bethel to have a playing surface that is used in the NFL. It is the best playing surface in the West Tennessee and the scouts like to gage players on our turf.”
