The Ashland-Greenwood Bluejays should once again have a buzzsaw on defense as they return key defenders like senior linebacker Andrew Beranek Andrew Beranek 6'0" | 205 lbs | LB/OL Ashland-Greenwood | 2027 State NE . As a junior, Andrew recorded 43 tackles, six TFLs, a sack, an interception, and a forced fumble. The one thing that kept popping into my head when watching Andrew’s junior tape was “effort”. Andrew has the type of tireless motor and pursuit for the ball that you love to see out of your linebackers. He is very gap sound and does a great job reading his keys before shooting his gap. Once he’s locked in on his target, Beranek displayed excellent range and burst that can help him fire to the ball. Andrew flashes the strength to fight through blockers at the LOS while keeping his eyes up and tracking the ball. When Andrew hits, he can hit like a truck while not compromising his technique or form when going for the stop. A true throwback at linebacker who can lay the wood!
