There still is no official 40 time on Beal, but he was a state medalist in both the 100M and 200M in high school. Meanwhile, Mississippi State FS Brandon Bryant will also be entering the supp draft, also for academic reasons. Bryant, who the school’s website bio says he’s run the 40 in as fast as 4.24 is a well built 5-11, 215-pounder who had over 60 tackles in each of his first couple of years with the Bulldogs, but saw his numbers drop to 32 this past season. Bryant also has 5 career picks. He is considered to be more of a mid-to-late round type prospect. It was earlier reported that Virginia Tech CB Adonis Alexander will also be entering the 2018 supp draft. No date has reportedly been set for this summer’s supplemental draft, but it is usually held the first week in July.
