River Forest’s De’Aris Beason has taken off in football and wrestling since transferring from Belleville West two years ago.
River Forest senior De’Aris Beason has a team-leading 18 tackles through two games.Qualifying for a wrestling semistate? Starting at linebacker and left tackle?Not when he began participating in both sports as a sophomore after transferring from Belleville West in Illinois.“I didn’t really know anyone, and I wanted to meet new people,” Beason said. “I found football and wrestling. Ever since then, I fell in love with them. I love it here.
The 6-foot-1, 210-pound Beason leads the Ingots with 18 tackles, four for loss and two sacks entering their game at Wheeler on Friday. They recorded back-to-back shutouts against East Chicago Central and Calumet.“I’m flying to the ball, making my reads, making tackles,” Beason said. “I’m just doing my assignments, staying within the defense. We’re just playing hard and having a good time.”
“It was fun, especially since I don’t have a ton of experience wrestling,” Beason said. “Just one full year in the room really changed my whole skill set, my whole mindset. It was really fun, especially with all of my friends and the upperclassmen from last year.“It shows hard work pays off. Wrestling pays off. I’m taking to coaching well. Hidalgo’s an excellent coach.”
Beason wants to push himself in wrestling too. He didn’t mince words about his goal being a state championship. At the moment, Beason is focused on this football season, one in which he believes River Forest can go undefeated.
