If you know the story of GridironStuds then you know that it began as a simple website that would allow local kids in South Florida to put their highlights up and market themselves to college football coaches.\u00a0 Over time,\u00a0 it spread from local South Florida kids, to Florida kids, to kids all over the United States and then globally. One of the best things about running GridironStuds is seeing how athletes play football all over the World.\u00a0 Today’s player of the day would be a great example of that.<\/p>\n

Let’s be honest,\u00a0 you don’t find very many white defensive backs these days.\u00a0 You don’t find many great DBs in Canada and you virtually never find French born Canadians killing it in American Football.\u00a0 Maceo Beard from Cegep de Thetford School in Quebec, Candad will smash all of your streo-types very quickly.\u00a0 Cut the film on and you’ll see a highly athletic prospect that can make both the athletic play and the smart play.\u00a0 Watch Beard jump short routes,\u00a0 go up high to snag deep routes and drop a shoulder on WRs trying to catch a ball in the heart of the defense.\u00a0 They play a bit of a different brand of football in Canada but Beard definitely has the looks of a prospect that can handle his own on a high school football field in the U.S. and then in college.<\/p>\n

Beard also includes in his GridironStuds profile,\u00a0 a video of him working out with further lends legitimacy to his athleticism.\u00a0 When scouting prospects for their college worthiness,\u00a0 projection is a big part of the process.\u00a0 Between Beard’s athletic ability and his seemingly solid football IQ,\u00a0 he presents himself as a legitimate candidate for college football programs in the United States.\u00a0 Let’s hope that this Beard is trim enough to get some offers from a college football program near you.<\/p>\n
