Beckham Dee is already a defensive tone-setter for Lafayette
In the 2025 season, Beckham Dee emerged as Lafayette’s top returning tackler with 62 tackles, 7 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, and an interception, then entered 2026 as a sophomore captain—the lone underclassman in the leadership group[5][9]. What makes him valuable is not just production but range, effort, and versatility: he plays downhill, disrupts plays behind the line, and shows enough coverage feel to matter on all three downs[4][5]. He’s the kind of linebacker who fits a physical, aggressive defense and looks like a strong locker-room and on-field fit if you want instinct, urgency, and leadership in one package[9].
