was listed by ESPN as the #3rd ranked player in 2014 in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Beasley returned to school for his senior season and was even better -- despite facing more double- and triple-teams than at any point in his career. He won ACC Defensive Player of the Year honors and was a finalist for the Bednarik and Lombardi awards after racking up a team-high 21.5 tackles for loss, a team-high 12 sacks, nine quarterback pressures, three pass breakups and two forced fumbles. Nobody in the ACC was better off the edge than Beasley, and he was a nightmare for many teams to block. (via ESPN.com)

Beasley holds the Clemson career record for most sacks with 33 (4th in ACC history) and the current active FBS leader and also has an impressive 52.5 career tackles for loss (4th in Clemson history).

He was named to four All-American teams after staying for his senior season at Clemson.

As a side note - Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston was ranked #2 overall and Pittsburgh running back James Conner was the #1 ranked player out the entire ACC.
