One of the best offensive linemen to ever play for Kansas State is all set to continue his football career in the NFL.
[–>
The Dallas Cowboys selected Beebe with the No. 73 overall pick in the third round of the NFL Draft on Friday.
[–>
Beebe is a 6-foot-3 and 322-pound behemoth from Kansas City who played for Piper High before he committed to the Wildcats.
[–>
He played both guard and tackle at K-State, but he figures to play mostly on the interior as a professional. That versatility, combined with his football IQ and obvious strength, made him a surefire NFL Draft pick.

Beebe could turn out to be a steal for the Cowboys on the second day of this draft. Although you never know how a prospect will adjust to the next level, Beebe is such a gifted blocker that he was able to make himself stand out as K-State’s best player even though he never touched the ball.

Many thought Beebe would have also picked early in the 2023 NFL Draft had he decided to leave college a year early. But he stayed in school to improve his stock and make a case for the prestigious Ring of Honor at K-State.
[–>
Beebe was named offensive lineman of the year multiple times in the Big 12. He also earned consensus All-America honors as a senior.
[–>
He’ll be reunited with former Wildcats teammate Deuce Vaughn on the Cowboys’ roster. Vaughn is a Dallas running back.
