‘”I saw him when I went to Bethel to look at a different kid,” said Hand now a regional scout for Buffalo. “At practice I saw this monster out there and he didn’t have any pads on. He was running around and he was really athletic, and I asked the coach I said, ‘Who is that kid?’ And he said, ‘Oh that’s Mike Jasper, he just got here a couple of weeks ago.’ And so I asked where his pads were and the coach said, ‘We don’t have any pads to fit him. We’re getting custom pads for him, but they’re not in yet.'”‘
