Justin Beadles #4

California · LB · R-Sr · 2027 Draft · Atlanta, GA · Sandy Creek HS

Long Shot

Floor 3.7 · Ceiling 4.2

#3381 overall · #407 LB of 15102

Scouting Verdict

Veteran (R-Sr) Power-4 (Louisville) edge/LB with a four-year sample (34 tackles, 1.5 sacks) at a sturdy 6-5/275 and a usable pedigree (3-star, pos-rank 44). Experienced rotational contributor without a standout pro trait. Solid contributor grade.

Ceiling · 4.2

Career reserve (LB3) — limited opportunity caps the ceiling; close to ceiling (+0.1) · ACC draft-temper · LB lower-value.

Floor · 3.7

Some college production — moderate floor; downside −0.4.
