GBMWolverine Football Spring Evaluations: Position-by-Position — Player Profile.
GBMWolverine readers: Here is a brief overview of Brennen Beyer and GBMWolverine’s analysis concerning his progress this spring in our opinion.
Note: We will not evaluate every player on the team and with this position group (Defensive Line) we will not evaluate #67 Nathan Brink. If you would like to chat about this player bring them up on the message board or send us an e-mail request.
Reminder: Also noted that we didn’t attend every practice and realize things happen during those fifteen practices, but our evaluations are based on what we seen first hand and in our opinion and not what we hear like just about every other site out there that relies on second, third hand information to make their evaluations of the players during the spring.
Losing from 2011 (Team #132) on scholarship: #39 Will Heininger, #53 Ryan Van Bergen, #68 Mike Martin, and #95 Chris Rock who has left the program.
Coming in for 2012 (Team #133) on scholarship: Willie Henry, Ondre Pipkins, Chris Wormley, Tom Strobel, Matt Godin, and Mario Ojemudia.
Commit for 2013 (Team #134) on scholarship: Henry Poggi, Maurice Hurst Jr., and Taco Charlton.
Brennen Beyer

High School Coach: Mike Swachuck
Brennen Beyer is from nearby Canton. He was highly thought of by recruiting services. From the beginning his weight and eventual position were in question. Those questions remain going into 2012-fall camp. He plays smart and the description he is a football player applies.
Brennen has played both Sam linebacker and defensive end at various times.
He is, as the above writing implies, a bit of a tweener, but is a player who could play several positions. However, in our opinion Brennen isn’t stout enough for full-time defensive end and not as athletic as we prefer at Sam linebacker either.
We could see Brennen playing defensive end in certain situations and against certain teams quite a bit. Against other teams, we could also envision him playing Sam linebacker if needed, due to scheme and opponent.
Brennen was noticeably bigger and thicker this spring, but still has quite a ways to go. Brennen must show big improvement this season and he must be ready to immediately contribute this season.
With the defensive recruiting that this staff has done since arriving, many upperclassmen better be ready and improve quickly or they might get passed by on the depth chart by some rising stars.
