Ryan Beadle

Ryan has always been quiet, and basically allows his "pads" to do his talking for him. He played consistently hard. Having joined the Crusaders in seventh grade, Ryan is one of our home schooled players. What a tragedy it would have been for Ryan to not have had the opportunity to play football. He has expressed his gratitude for the blessing Crusader football has been in his life. Ryan's presence on the line will be greatly missed. He played offensive tackle and defensive end.

Ryan is headed to Moody Bible Institute this fall, where he will no doubt continue to serve and lead by example. Future plans for this Crusader will likely include work in the mission field. His brothers on the team will miss his presence and the way he displayed CHRIST in all he did as a Crusader.
