Harwood Beeker Harwood Beeker 5'10" | 190 lbs | LB Tuscaloosa Academy | 2027 State AL is coming off another dominant season in the 2A, making our All-State team for the second year in a row.

“Beeker is a versatile MLB capable of providing huge stops against the run, great coverage over the middle of the field, and sideline-to-sideline plays against some tough-skill players. Beeker is excellent in pursuit and has great closing speed- he doesn’t give up on plays, is terrific at tracking the ball carrier, and can close quickly to tackle or pick off passes.

I love watching Beeker in coverage; he matches up well against a wide variety of different pass catchers and has the instincts and ball skills to create a ton of huge plays.“

Beeker was unstoppable again this year- racking up 148 total tackles (106 solo, 9 for loss) and 2 sacks.

I’m a huge fan of Beeker and can’t wait to watch him this next year. He’s a talented defender for Tuscaloosa Academy. Be sure to watch him below:
