Scouting report: The 6-foot-6, 280-pound Beach looks like he stepped out of central casting when they called for a FBS offensive tackle prospect. The four-star lineman has an ideal build, height and arm length for the position. The other thing that immediately jumps off film about Beach is that he plays very balanced. Balance is something few come to naturally and is difficult to ingrain in young linemen. Beach also has strong hands and dominates the point of attack.
Recruiting breakdown: Beach is the top-ranked prospect in the state of Wisconsin for 2017, but he was actually born in Ohio and has also lived in Colorado. The home-state Badgers still have to be considered one of the top contenders right now and Paul Chryst is cleaning up with in-state prospects in this class thus far. To keep Beach within the state borders, they are going to have to battle a dozen other schools that have offered, from Syracuse to Oregon State. Beach’s next planned visit is to Michigan on March 11.
