Jase Nelson, senior at Dell Rapids High School, signed a letter of intent to play football at Dakota Wesleyan University in Mitchell. Nelson finished his senior year of Quarrier football completing 57 of 107 passes for 1,118 total yards. He threw 15 touchdowns and only seven interceptions. He also ran the ball 26 times for 74 yards and a touchdown.
One of Nelson’s best games came in the semi-finals of the playoffs where he went 7-11 passing for 125 yards and two touchdowns against West Central to send the Quarriers to the Dome on their way to the 11A Championship.
Nelson will now suit up as a member of the Tiger football team.
