Beau Blessing Beau Blessing 5'9" | 225 lbs | DL NorthWood | 2028 State IN (who also goes by Beauden) is a starting defensive end for NorthWood High School. He uses his size to his advantage well by playing at a low pad level and has edge speed to turn the corner, takes great angles to the ball and knows how to get to the quarterback. Also a wrestler, his multi-sport athleticism translates well to the field.

Blessing is one of those younger guys who just keeps coming. He’s got a good motor, plays through the whistle, and doesn’t back down in the trenches. While he’s not the biggest yet, there’s still plenty of time for him to grow into his frame. What I like is that he already plays with the kind of toughness and effort you can’t teach.
