And then it was on to the NCAA. Bowling Green State University came calling, and Jacob Cepis signed on in 2007. He selected the Bowling Green State Falcons over Michigan, Princeton, Yale, and Western Michigan because the coach promised him lots of playing time. Jacob Celis played a lot in 2007-2008, scoring 15 goals. But by 2008-2009, he was no longer on the active roster and was no longer happy with the school or team.
