July 8 – Grant Beerman verbally committed to Purdue over the weekend.
A three-star linebacker prospect, Beerman chose the Boilermakers over a final four that also included Cincinnati, West Virginia and Michigan State.
He is the third player from Lakota West’s Class of 2025 to commit to an NCAA Division I FBS school, joining tight end Luka Gilbert (University of Miami) and tight end/defensive lineman Vincent Giordano (Bowling Green ).
The 6-foot-2, 220-pound Beerman is the No. 17 ranked 247Sports Composite for Ohio and the No. 46-ranked linebacker.
He had 79 tackles, including 12 for loss and three sacks, last season for the Firebirds, who advanced to the regional finals in the Division I playoffs before losing to Cincinnati Moeller.
