CALHOUN, Ga. — It’s something Justin Beasley’s father knew long ago, and it’s a fact that has been imprinted on prep secondaries across the Peach State for the better part of four years.
The Calhoun High School senior receiver never, ever stops moving.
It’s a trait that earned him the nickname “Jutt” as a 3-year-old when his father, Justin Beasley Sr., always found himself chasing the toddler. Today, it’s a trait that has the speedster currently No. 1 in Georgia (among players listed on MaxPreps.com) with 912 receiving yards this season despite constant defensive attention.
Oh, and he has produced the yards and nine touchdown catches in just six games for the Yellow Jackets, who are the reigning GHSA Class AAA state champions.
“He’s pretty special,” said Clay Stephenson, who is in his 23rd season with Calhoun’s football program and in his seventh as its head coach. “He’s very good with the ball in his hands, and he’s just a natural route runner and has a knack for getting open. He’s definitely up there with all the great guys we’ve had here.”
