Quotes on Jeremy Beal
"I can't remember when we've had a defensive end playing any better, and we've had some very good ones. Jeremy is just an amazing worker. One of our best workers. He has really developed himself that way, with his strength and his endurance to continually rush the passer. He has such strength in his hips and legs that allows him to be the rusher he is and the defender he is out on that edge."
- Oklahoma Head Coach Bob Stoops
“Over the last two years, he's easily been our most consistent defensive lineman ... in making plays and playing with incredible effort. He gets it. It's easy for him. He works very hard in preparation. He goes a hundred miles an hour and he's very conscientious of his technique and his fundamentals, how he fits into things, he's very coachable. Very, very, very, very consistent. He's the same guy every day."
- Oklahoma Defensive Coordinator Brent Venables
"I think what makes Jeremy so good is the fact of how smart he is. He knows what's coming at him and when it's going to be there and what angles to take, what to do to his man. He knows who he is going against, how to defeat that person. I don't think people give him enough credit, and that's why he's destroying people."
- Oklahoma Defensive Tackle Gerald McCoy |
