Andrew Beck, Plant 2014 LB BCS body, Best physically looking LB at the combine, natural leader, great speed for size, very fluid in pass drop/reaction drills covered a lot of ground with very little wasted movement or steps, excellent feet in agility drills, used hands extremely well when removed vs. #2 (RB) in the slot and looked comfortable in space, played with great leverage.

The Plant Panther defense revolves around the line backers. Even though the secondary has traditionally been good, the Panther LBs have always been the oil that runs the machine.

This year is no different. Andrew Beck has jumped into the center of the defense and has thrived. In 9 games, he has 39 solo tackles, 97 total tackles, averaging 10.8 tackles per game, 6 sacks and 5 pass defended. The 6-3 240 pound inside LB has a chance to be one of the best inside backers the Panthers have had in the Weiner era.

To date, Beck has verbal offers from USF and Duke with NC State and Cincinnati showing interest. He is a two way stud, plays TE also. However he feels he is more comfortable playing linebacker.

As the spring flew by, the summer came and went and now we are in the bottom half of the fall season, Beck has grown as player and is counted on as team leader. “I involve myself in a lot of the defensive game planning by watching film by myself and with coaches not only during the week, but Saturday and Sunday as well”. That is a habit of a young player wanting to grow into a stud.

Plant is headed to the playoffs and wanting to make a deep run. Beck will be key in their success. Looking ahead into the offseason, he does have goals. “I believe not only do I need to gain muscle weight, but I want to increase my speed and quickness by my senior year”. He is just a junior and has so much upside. He can run, hit and lead. All signs of a great player.

Like every good player, there is room for improvement and building on what they have learned. “I have learned that to play like a championship team, it is crucial to prepare that way. If you don’t prepare like a man and like you want it Friday night, you will not get the job done on the field. I have also learned that team defense is much more successful than one all star trying to make every play”.

IN HIS OWN WORDS
My coaches often compliment me on my coachability, and how I work off the field not only on footwork and skill, but preparation and film.

INTERESTING FACT
I am a military brat, and have had the opportunity to play football in 5 different states at various levels.

In before Dan Morgan comparisons... and "will grow into a DE" affirmations.

Now, seriously... impressive fluidity for someone with his size. In 1 or 2 plays where he made the wrong read, I was impressed by his recovery speed. ****, what a beast!´

I was watching that MLB Daub(sp?) film yesterday, the number 1 MLB for 24/7, and the guy looks like an obelisk compared to this A. Beck kid. What a difference in speed and fluidity.

I´m sold, promise him the #44 and we back

Kid looks good. Have we offered Vincent Jackson JR from Travis Johnsons school yet? Curious on our chances there.

Thanks.

We are talking about 16 or 17 years old young men, and they could/will improve with College training, but that Kain Daub is soooo stiff... if I have to chose, just basing myself in the hudl films that I saw, I would take this Beck kid over Daub without hesitation.
