Typical IrishIllustrated article. Nothing but glowing remarks for Weis when Brendan visited from their Junior Day last weekend.

Could end up being a Bobby Carpenter type player size and speed wise...

tOSU has offered.

Impressive kid, but surprising to me that we offered yet another LB this early in the game. Ah well, doesn't hurt our spreading the name around in NJ.

 

[CleveBucks]

Beal measured in at 6-4 235 recently. At that size he could grow into a nice DE.

Sounds like perfect LEO material.

Beal has offers from Notre Dame, Ohio State, Rutgers, Pittsburgh, Nebraska, Wake Forest, Virginia and Temple...and talks about his interest in each school.

Just my gut, but it seems like OSU and ND might have the slightest edge at this early juncture...

 

[WaitingforKickoff]

USC has plucked some pretty good players out of NJ lately, including LB Brian Cushing. ND also does well there. It would be great if OSU can make some noise this year.
