None of us care to out you. Even if we meet for the uga game with mrMet, you have nothing to worry about unless Sarge shows up. Then he will end up getting white girl wasted and trying to tell people hes Ellen DeGeneres again.

I am just curious if you have any other criteria besides star ranking? Do you believe that Pruitt knows how to evaluate a DB?

And it's not just Pruitt. He's picked up offers from Auburn, FSU, USCjr, Florida, Miami, and Nebraska, over the past two months or so. That's a pretty strong out-of-nowhere upward trend.

So why was now the right time to be a Vol?

"The coaches are the biggest reason," Beasley said. "I love coach (Charles) Kelly and how he as coaches. I love the defensive scheme they have their under coach (Jeremy) Pruitt. It's just where I think I belong.

"The love they have showed me. They don't blow my phone up but they are always there talking to me and checking on me."

Most prospects would have just made the call to commit, but not Beasley. The very mature and polite Peach State product just felt like he was called to make the trip. He wanted to see their reaction first-hand.

"I wanted to come up and do it in person," Beasley said. "I wanted to do it this way so they know I'm for real. I think it lets them know how I feel about Tennessee and how I feel about the staff."

"He keeps it real," Beasley said of Kelly. "He shows me things that not every coach does and he keeps it 100. I like that I'm getting coached by the best with coach Pruitt and coach Kelly."

Pruitt and his staff love the upside of Beasley. They see him as a big tailback or a hard-hitting safety. Beasley fully understood where he stands with this staff and it was humbling.

"It makes you feel so good," Beasley said. "It's almost surreal to hear coaches talk about my versatility and what they like about my game. It just lets me know they hard work I've put in has paid off."

At 6-foot-1 and over 200 pounds, Beasley displays versatility with extremely nice athleticism. He clearly loves to play the game at a high level.

"Just running and hitting," Beasley said. "I love to tackle. My ability to tackle in space is something that sets me apart. I know I have to get better in certain areas. I want to improve my speed even more and then my coverage."

So which ones does he want to play? Well ultimately it doesn't matter, but he likes parts of both positions.

"They have told me that I can play both," Beasley said. "I haven't really decided which one I want to play. I like to run the ball, but I don't really care. I just like to make plays. It feels good to help your team."

Tennessee beat out Auburn, Florida State, South Carolina and Nebraska, among others, to land Beasley, who becomes the ninth member of the 2019 class.

BEASLEY’S SCOUTING REPORT

"Beasley is an athlete who has made plays at running back and defensive back in high school, but on the next level, he looks destined for the secondary.

As a safety, he is aggressive and he loves to deliver the big hit. He is strong in run support and he is a solid tackler. His speed to the ball is good, but that is an area he can improve in. He has good awareness in the secondary and he reads the quarterback well.

He is a guy I could see spending a lot of time inside the box. Coverage is not as much of a strength as his run support it. With his size, his physicality and his strengths, he could be used in a lot of ways at Tennessee."

HOW WILL BEASTLY FIT WITH THE VOLS?

Frankly, it’s too early to know. Tennessee is simply ecstatic to get Beasley in the fold and will simply figure out the rest later.

Beasley is the exact type of athlete Jeremy Pruitt wants to turnaround Tennessee. The versatile standout could play running back, safety, star or linebacker for the Vols — it really all depends on how he continues to grow and fill out this fall.

Currently, the staff really likes his physicality, playmaking ability and upside at running back after Beasley rushed for more than 1,700 yards and 29 touchdowns on a really good Heard County team. He also had a nose for the football defensively, though, which is way so many schools are intrigued by his skill-set at safety. In 2017, he had 60 tackles and a hand in six takeaways (three INTs, one forced fumble, two fumble recoveries).

WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR TENNESSEE?

By landing Beasley, Tennessee’s class is close to being halfway full now — and it’s still early June.

The Vols' new staff won another nice battle against SEC foes Auburn and South Carolina, and continue to make hey in the Peach State — with now half the 2019 class hailing from Georgia.

Beasley’s addition also gives Tennessee options at tailback and defensive back moving forward. Depending on how they ultimately project Beasley, they can prioritize one spot over the other.
