![]() Well, he's a big guy, bigger than Darius Ashley whom I believe may be a stud but is only in the 5'8" range. Not that fast though, but we can work on his speed. Last edited by BGriffBuckeye; 03-08-2006 at 01:51 PM. |

5/23/06 Another great article by Bill Greene...Brandon put up a 4.62 40 and 4.4 shuttle at the Akron one day camp (great numbers considering he is 6-1 215). He has a 3.3 GPA and sees himself on the defensive side of the ball in college. |

Yup... kid says he loves to seek out ballcarriers and take them out. That's the attitude you gotta have. If I was a betting man, I would say he is our Nate Oliver-esque signing day commit for next year....

I like the idea of Beachum coming in at LB for us next year, if we get Darius Ashley. With Devoe Torrence at LB to go with Beachum, we would be set. Still very early but you would have to think Beachum gets an offer.

He has a defensive attitude to go along with his lb body. And from all reports that I have heard, he is a buckeye fan, and if and when we offer next year, he should be a buck. As for lb's in Ohio next year, don't forget about Zordich, he might be the best of all and that is saying alot with Torrence and Beachum. Bangup year in Ohio next year. |

Quit saying he's too "slow" to play runningback in college. He's a great highschool runningback, and I have no doubt that he could make a transition and be a good college runningback. He's simply better suited to be a linebacker.
If 4.6 is NOT to slow for a power runningback. Besides, speed is a little bit overrated for runningbacks. The most important qualities are tackle breaking, elusiveness, and burst. If anybody doubts this, just look at the amount of NFL runningbacks who don't test well. Reuben Droughns, Deuce Staley, Rudii Johnson, Tiki Barber, Emmitt Smith, Edgerrin James, Terrell Davis etc. etc. etc. They may not have top track speed, but they have good burst, vision, and break tackles more often than not. With that said, I think Beachum has more upside as a linebacker than a runningback. He looks like he'll turn out to be a really good Mike, but I would guess he could play anywhere really. |
