Beal will enter Western Michigan as an "ATH," he'll see the field either at WR or DB, which will be determined later.

— The D Zone (@TheD_Zone) July 28, 2014- How it felt receiving offer and committing the same day - "I mean, it really wasn't any second guessing. They're giving me that chance I want and I took it."
- How Western Michigan became the team to land his commitment - "When I attended the camp just last week I showcased my talents, that was good enough to receive an offer."
- Thoughts on campus and city of Kalamazoo - "I took a visit like a couple weeks before I attended the camp and their campus was great and I use to live in Kalamazoo and I'm very familiar with the city."
- How Beal fits playing for Western Michigan - "To be honest where ever they decide to place me I will make sure they won't regret doing it. I'm confident behind my decision on being a Bronco."
- How Beal plans to develop relationship with other WMU commits - "Well I have to start by getting myself involved with the team, there is not a guarantee that I could earn friends with teammates just because I'm on the team I have to earn my stripes."
- What Beal is looking forward to this upcoming season and vs. WMU commit, Jon Wassink - "Well my team is preparing to fight to the very end with any team that steps foot on the field with us. Jon is a very good QB and it will be fun playing against a future Bronco like me. I also hope to play Defense that game as well."
