Offensive tackle Matt Beyer (San Antonio/Reagan) is not making any excuses. He isn’t harboring any resentment.
The reason his recruiting didn’t take off initially was because of what he did to himself last summer. If it’s possible, Beyer overworked himself. He wanted so badly to get bigger and stronger that he stopped listening to his body.
