Franklin Road Academy has become a line of scrimmage factory and one of the next guys up is interior offensive lineman Willis Beard Jr. Willis Beard Jr. Willis Beard Jr. 6'2" | 240 lbs | DL/OL Franklin Road Academy | 2029 TN

The coaching staff trusts him to run the front at the center position already and he has all the natural tools to be an exciting prospect at the spot with a more filled out frame, which will naturally come working with the impressive Panthers coaching staff.

Willis Beard is a new name on my radar from Franklin Road Academy, but one with a solid baseline frame to begin his high school development with under a strong coaching staff.

In the clips I have seen, he can be effective at getting upfield as a defensive lineman and that will only continue as he keeps adding play strength and filling out his frame.

He also has experience along the offensive line, including at center.

Just like his teammate Dhillon Booker Dhillon Booker Dhillon Booker 6'1" | 210 lbs | EDGE/ATH Franklin Road Academy | 2029 TN , Willis Beard Jr. Willis Beard Jr. Willis Beard Jr. 6'2" | 240 lbs | DL/OL Franklin Road Academy | 2029 TN will be going from Rose Park Middle School to Franklin Road Academy for high school. The duo was part of a Rose Park team that won back-to-back championships over the last two seasons. Beard Jr. is a long, muscled up, athletic big man with a powerful get-off. In limited film I’ve seen of him, there isn’t much technical pass rush development, as he won with pure athleticism. He tells me he’ll continue to play D-Line and will also play on the opposite side of the ball. Once he adds some moves to his arsenal, he has the potential to be elite.
