'20 AL ATH Damarcus "Dee" Beckwith (Tennessee signee)

The coaching staff has picked up the pace with Dee ever since his football season ended. He's always thought highly of Coach Pruitt, I believe he ends up in Tn orange and eventually becomes a big time player in Knoxville. Fans are going to love him! He's having a good basketball season so far as well.
You’ve told us that if Bama offers last minute that’s where he’s going. Honestly, If I were the coaches I wouldn’t spend a ton of time recruiting a kid like that. But I guess they might have told him the same...if we sign Washington, our top TE target, you likely don’t have a spot. But if we miss, come on down. Recruiting...

Forgive me for not paying attention, but is TE the only possibility with this kid?

No. He’s just an offensive playmaker. Iirc even plays RB in high school.

I think he would be a versatile weapon. I wouldn’t mind him in Orange.

How fast is he? Any chance he could be a WR? Not seen him play and I don't know anything about evaluating film, but could he be a possession type receiver?

According to 247 he runs track but I don't see any times listed for him. He looks pretty fast in his film though. Especially for his size.
 
He's a two-way player that can play a lot of positions, so IDT DW bumps him out. Think we'll continue to hold a spot unless we get traction with some top guys before NSD. Then the coaches will tell him in or out. Doubt he has a spot at Bama, unless they have a flurry of decommits.

That would be fun.
 
Kid effortlessly catches the football when needed.
Just needs WR coaching imo. All the physically talent is there. 6'5 215 already running 4.5 ish. Can out jump anybody and he's already 6'5! This guy is a top 100 player easily and we need to get him.
 
I havent watched film on this kid, but what am i missing? He can play bball at a d1 level, has all the measurables, track athlete.

Maybe he is a definite take, but is he just a project, or not instinctive, or what is the thought here?

He will be a good one wherever he goes if he gives full attention to football. He is highly recruited as is but I think he would be even more fiercely recruited if people weren’t concerned that he changes his mind if the right basketball offer ever comes along thst doesn’t come with a football requirement. Some probably don’t know what position he will play but I take him all day and see where he fits best. He looks like a heck of a WR/TE prospect depending on how he grows. Also probably be a heck of a DB

We've got a spot for him. Alabama is going to offer a kicker their last scholarship it looks like so right now it's us and Florida and with little brother committed as a PWO to us means that Fl will have to offer them a pretty sweet deal to get them down there.

He's not a D1 power5 basketball prospect, if he were that is the scholarship he would most likely take. He's raw as a receiver as he's had to play a bunch at QB for his HS and he's always played basketball during the summers. He's a freak when it comes to size, speed and athleticism. He'll find his way onto the field as a Fr I believe.

That type of raw freak athleticism will translate much faster at WR. Doesn't even need to always run the route perfectly. Just throw it up and near him and he's catching it.

IMO, this is the top prospect left on the board. NEED NEED NEED

Hahaha.

I took me a bit to get what you meant. Then i read my own comments about not running the right routes.

👀😭😂😂🤘🏽🤘🏽 to impress you even further regarding CP..supposedly he didn’t even know the playbook,they just had him run some BS routes,basically just told him to find a way to get open and That he was Tyler brays first read always,No matter the play unless it was a run.👀😂😂 dude was a freak athlete.i have never seen a dude make so many people miss with little to no effort at all,while running full speed.truly amazing.

Any updates on this guy? You seem to be the most connected to both Beckwiths and I would be thrilled to have them both. You earlier indicated that the one who accepted a PWO to us would follow Dee wherever he went.... that still in play? It seems to me that the staff has targeted more athletes with high potential rather than polished ball players this year than they normally do. Always a risk, but does have potential for real reward in the long run...
 
Sub 12 100m time, was in the top 20 for the state this year.

I'd say he's a Vol if he wants to be, not sure -where- he plays, but he'll have plenty of options for position with his size/speed. Could be WR/TE...maybe even an OLB/edge rusher if he can add another 20-30lbs.
