Merrimack freshman LB Lincoln Beal brings size, two-way playmaking pedigree
Beal arrives at Merrimack as a **6-foot-2, 210-pound freshman linebacker** from Phillips Academy in Andover, and his background suggests a player with rare versatility and field impact rather than a one-note defender.[1] In high school, he showed explosive production as a runner, posting **741 rushing yards, 8.5 yards per carry, and 17 rushing touchdowns in 2022-23**, which points to balance, burst, and contact strength that can translate well to special teams and downhill linebacker play.[2]
