You’ll think you know the Farmington Tigers’ roster and then boom, a stud will emerge out of nowhere. The 2027 installment of this never-ending trend is WR Ty Beck Ty Beck 6'0" | 195 lbs | WR Farmington | 2027 MN , who exploded onto the state’s recruiting scene in near-nuclear fashion thanks to a WR MVP performance at the second South Dakota State prospect camp of the summer. Behind some eye-popping athletic numbers, notably a 10’3″ broad jump, Beck was on fire during 1v1s thanks to his overall explosiveness, quickness in and out of his breaks, and combination of route running ability and deep ball prowess. St. Paul’s FCS competitor took notice, as did Bemidji State and Black Hills State, who all offered after the performance in Brookings, and UMD joined the fray after Beck balled out at the Bulldogs’ team camp the week of June 24th. A captain for the Tigers‘ upcoming season and a strong baseball player and recruit in his own right, Beck proved in the 2025 regular season that he can win contested catches and track & play the deep ball well, line up and win at multiple receiver spots, and not to mention add multi-phase utility to the picture as an explosive kick returner. Beck displayed acceleration and burst as a route runner and can drop his hips and create separation at the top of the route, and he’s also dangerous in space and with the ball in-hand against 6A defenses. However, I think Beck had a monster of an offseason and is poised for a massive senior campaign with his Farmington teammates.
