A native of Aurora, Bible starred at Cherokee Trail High School before playing NCAA Division I football at the University of Northern Colorado from 2008-2012. He played in 33 career games for the Bears as a safety, earning All-Conference honors in the Big Sky as a senior in 2012 after finishing with 70 total tackles, three interceptions, three pass breakups, and one forced fumble.

His performance as a senior at UNC earned him the "Mr. Reliable" award for the 2012 season.
