Prep Redzone Scout

Ja’Kye Beard Ja’Kye Beard 6'3" | 190 lbs | ATH Westview | 2028 TN is an intriguing two-way prospect that projects best at safety due to his elite frame, strong playmaking ability and natural athleticism.

He holds a strong frame with a long 6-foot-2 and 192 pound build that allows for him to be a disruptive presence in every aspect of the safety position.

He has the potential to clean up plays on the back end of the defense with his recovery ability, long speed, and physicality.

As he refines his game and develops further, he could see more Power Four offers come his way and Tennessee has already recognized that potential.

Ja’Kye Beard Ja’Kye Beard 6'3" | 190 lbs | ATH Westview | 2028 TN is an intriguing safety prospect on the rise that was a strong playmaker for Henry County in all three facets of the game.

He has elite length and a strong frame already at 6-foot-2 and 190 pounds, that allows for him to be both disruptive in coverage as well as a physical and assertive tackle.

He has good long speed and could really break out with his recruitment as he takes another step forward during his junior season, improving his explosiveness and having another productive year.

With another year of him showing his burst, ball skills and coverage ability and he could see his recruitment truly breakout a month into his junior season this year.
