Former Augustana men’s basketball student-athlete Daniel Jansen has signed a contract to play professionally for Limburg United, the Belgian League club announced Tuesday.

Jansen, a native of Orange City, Iowa, becomes the 21st former Viking to sign a professional contract, the first since Cameron McCaffrey was signed by Nuova Alius Pallacanestro in Italy in 2013.

“I am so excited to get this opportunity to continue my dream of playing professional basketball,” Jansen said.   “It really is surreal that the opportunity is here and I will be leaving in a couple weeks. I think it goes to show how great God is, and I hope and pray to continually serve and honor him while playing overseas. Coach Billeter and the entire coaching staff has done an amazing job of getting me prepared and ready to succeed at the next level. I want to thank my teammates and everyone involved at Augustana who has made by four years some of the best times of my life and for helping me realize my dream of becoming a National Champion

. Augustana has been an amazing place for me and I will always cherish my time there.   Limburg United also announced the signing of Iowa native and former Northern Iowa standout Seth Tuttle and Ben Simons of Drake University. Jansen will be one of two rookies playing for Limburg United in 2016-17, joining Gonzaga’s Eric McClellan who also signed with the club.
