Beal enters his final season with the RiverHawks after sitting out the 2008 season. 

In 2007, Beal split time at quarterback and on special teams in his inaugural campaign at Northeastern State.  Beal was 19-of-50 through the air for 221 yards and two touchdowns, but he did the most damage with his feet, gaining 304 yards and scoring five touchdowns. 

Beal will make the switch to wide receiver this season.  He is a business administration major.
