Nobody is more underrated in this Tennessee football recruiting class than Aaron Beasley. He joins Quavaris Crouch, the other athlete in this class, as the incredibly underrated guys on this list. But Beasley was underrated from the start.
A three-star two-sport athlete, Beasley’s focus is playing safety. And he already showed with his highlight reel how elite he is there. The guy is an insanely hard hitter, has great straight line speed and can actually recover quickly.
The recovery ability, hard hitting and straight line speed are all traits of an outfielder and a player with lots of strength. Well, Beasley, is an outfielder and also pitches, which requires strength. The only thing truly holding him back has been his ability to play so many roles.
Beasley has played running back, receiver and defensive back in high school. But the champion and player of the year for his district in Georgia has been a playmaker at all those spots. It’s just that they have limited his ability to thrive.
