I have offers from over 15 schools right now, most recently Arizona, UTEP, Tennessee, Minnesota, and Tulsa have all just offered me. I have offers for all different positions from tight end, defensive tackle, running back, quarterback, linebacker, and defensive end. I really want to play running back or quarterback, those are my favorite two positions," said Beachum.
Jatashun was able to identify who his favorite 5 teams are currently. Florida, Oregon, Kansas, Tennessee, and Oklahoma are probably my five favorite schools right now. Oregon and Florida are my top two right now though."
Jatashun Beachum - anyone see this guy? Rivals has him listed as an athlete. He is 6'2", 275 and runs like a deer. He has rushing, passing, and defensive stats. It does not list us as being on him, but think of the possibilities.

So Jared Lorenzen on nitrous?
Committed: Uncommitted - Favors Utah and Tennessee
Tennessee- “They show me lots of love. My mom loves them too because they send us letters a lot in the mail. I have always been a UT fan."
However, with all of his talent and upside, Beachum can be lazy. His weight is not good weight and he is out of shape. He got a reality check when a coach from one of the schools that offered him commented negatively about his size. However, Beachum remains even because his size and athleticism is so rare. At almost 300 pounds, out of shape and all, Beachum clocked a 4.75 forty and in his first game he threw for 202 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
The bottom line is, if he works hard and loses that bad weight, the sky is the limit for Big Tex. It is for these reasons Beachum's stock remains the same.
He projects as a DT. He has the quickness and burst that Orgeron loves in a DT. I think O could get him motivated and stay on him all day. He could be special down the road...
Does he have the frame to carry enough good weight to play DT? If he really does have a lot of bad weight, he could end up a completely different body type if he commits to a S&C program. I'm not trying to say that we shouldn't go after him because it sounds like he has tons of upside, but it wouldn't surprise me if predicting his size and weight is kind of a crapshoot.
