EDON – After a stellar senior season on the gridiron, Bomber wideout Caden Nester has signed a letter of intent to further his education and play football at Heidelberg University.
“I chose Heidelberg because of the culture and atmosphere. Everyone I have spoken with has been great people and it was the college I felt most comfortable with”, said Nester.
“They have great football tradition as well as an excellent academic history. I really like the town of Tiffin along with the business program that Heidelberg offers. Overall, it just felt like the best fit.”
