Cache Bulldog Commits to Bethany College

On Thursday, March 14, Cache Bulldog Ruben Cable signed to play football for Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kansas.

Cable said he’d play on the offensive line and said he received an offer the day he visited the university.

“What I liked about Bethany the most is that everything there was like so nice and like up-to-date and I liked the weight room,” he said. “The dorms were a big plus, and I like the coach. I've talked to him for like maybe five minutes before he even offered me, that's it, and then he just gave me an offer, so he had faith in me.”

Cable said there was no way to explain how quickly the offer came.

“It's crazy how someone just trusts you do that much just knowing you after five minutes and extend you to a scholarship offer but it was crazy,” he said.

Cable will be studying business because he said there will be a lot of opportunities in the future.

“I feel like it's very common for athletes to major in business, so that's what I'm majoring in,” he said. “I'm undecided what I want to do after college yet but that's my major for now.”

But Cable won’t be going alone.

“I'm looking forward to, like, meeting new people,” he said. “It's gonna be a big change from here to going up five hours away and just away from the family. It's gonna be a big change, but I'm really looking forward to just playing football with the new team in a new environment, so…I'm also going to play football with one of my teammates.”

Cable and current teammate Nick Robinson will be roommates together.

“I feel like it relieves a lot of stress off your shoulders because most people go to like universities by themselves, so like they have to meet everybody new, so it's just like you have somebody there that already knows who you are, and so I feel like it's just a big like stress off your shoulder because y'all are doing it together,” he said.

But as Cable says goodbye, some of his favorite memories are practicing with the football team.

“Right now, it doesn't like affect me, but once it's all said and done, I'm going to college to play football that would have a big effect on me, but right now, it's just I still feel like I'm part of it,” he said.

Cable said it’s going to be a big change.

“I'm gonna miss everybody in high school like there's a point there's a part of me that doesn't want to go to college but and stay in high school, but there's another part of me that ‘That's just the next step,’” he said.

Cable said graduating and going off to college hasn’t quite him yet, but he is ready to see how it goes.
