BEMIDJI -- Jacob Kelly is joining a powerhouse.
The Bemidji High School senior is set to enter into the North Dakota State football program, which he made official when he signed his National Letter of Intent on Wednesday at the high school.
Kelly, a two-way player for BHS football, signed with NDSU as a linebacker. The Bison have eight FCS championships in the past nine seasons and will play in the national semifinals on Friday, Dec. 17, against James Madison.
