Do yourself a favor and head over to Ian’s twitter and watch the bulldozer’s highlights from 2025. The big man has a massive frame and the tape matches that size. Ian is able to overwhelm DL in the run game with his size and strength. He has a punch that can shove DL to the ground off that initial contact. For a kid with so much power to his game, it is impressive to see how he can flip the switch in pass pro to sliding and mirroring then setting a stout anchor. Ian is an intriguing athlete who could potentially play inside or out at OT at the next level. Don’t get caught sleeping on the special OL.

Ian played center last season, but this year it looks like the junior has slid out to left tackle for Marquette. The junior fits the role well. He has a large frame with length that gives him room for error vs speed rushers. Ian moves pretty well on his feet, both when getting depth in pass pro or when mirroring counter moves. The big man also flashed the ability to quickly overwhelm a DL or edge defender in the run game. No doubt, Ian is one of the OL to know in a very deep WI Class of 2027.

Marquette fielded a talented offensive line in 2024, and anchoring it at center was the 6’4″ 280 lbs sophomore Ian Beckes Ian Beckes 6'4" | 295 lbs | OL Marquette University | 2027 State WI . Ian will be back to lead the way in 2025, and his sophomore film has me jacked up for what is to come. Ian is massive and plays how you would expect a big, strong, nasty IOL would play. He is looking to dominate dudes. Ian is able to get snaps off quickly and flash his quick hands to get inside position on nose guards or DTs. Ian packs a punch right from the snap too. Everything he does has that same devastating power behind it. Beckes is looking to dominate his man every snap, and it has me excited for what he is going to do this fall.
