PRO’S
Strong and powerful, smart and competent. Beebe plays with a high motor and anger/finisher mentality that endears OL-men to coaches, teammates, and fans alike. In pass protection, he anchors very well and is very difficult to push back and basically acts as a wall, absorbing initial attack and bull rushes. Strong grip. Resets his base well, which is important for OL-man success. In the run game, he’s a mover and uses his great strength to clear defenders from lanes. He gets out to the second level pretty well using his nice athleticism seeks contact, and he likes mauling. Did not allow a sack in ’21 (as a LT), and did not allow a sack and just one penalty in ’22 (as a LG). Also plays on Special Teams. Kansas State has had a very decorated and successful Offensive Line for the past few seasons, and Beebe has been a key part of it.
CON’S
Lateral agility and foot quickness — overall pretty athletic for an OG/OT, but his feet aren’t the quickest and his short area quickness is a little lacking. And I want to stress that I’m trying to pick areas of improvement and so I’d pick these two, but honestly I’m nitpicking. Leans and lunges a little too often too trying to get his strong arms and grip engaged, but this is correctable. In pass protection, once he’s engaged it’s pretty much game over for the pass rusher, but quick D-linemen can give him some problems at times.
OVERALL
Versatility on the Offensive Line is key these days and Beebe provides that experience, having played at a high level at both Guard and Tackle. In 2020 started at RT, 2021 at LT (and took snaps at LG), and 2022 at LG (and took snaps at LT). Got better each year at each subsequent position. He will be a very good OG in the NFL but may even offer legit potential as a swing-Tackle in case of emergency, and if coaches see him that way it should solidly put him in 1st Round discussions. If not, then as of this writing and this writer’s opinion he’s no worse than a 2nd round value (and 1st round, even if not deemed a capable NFL swing-OT). Team Captain (so he’s a leader) in ’22 and 4.0 GPA (so he’s no dummy).
