Only Hakeem Beamon Until Penn State Football

At 51 days to go, we check in with defensive tackle Hakeem Beamon. Hakeem has been with the team since 2019, but only saw playing time sparingly until 2022. In 2022, Beamon appeared in 13 games, and started 12 of them, before dropping into a DT rotation in 2023, where he started 6 games.

In 2024, the rotation looks to continue, as Hakeem splits his time with Zane Durant, Dvon Ellies, and Coziah Izzard. Still, Beamon will continue to be a beast any time he steps on the field, and his seniority will help lead a defense under new tutelage in 2024.
