  "account": "Willie Martinez recognized Kaleb Beasley's talent when he arrived at Tennessee as a cornerback. However, Martinez saw potential in Beasley's athleticism and intelligence, and decided to move him to safety in 2025. Beasley followed Martinez's decision and transferred to Louisville. Since then, Beasley, who was able to play both safety positions, has been a standout performer for the Cardinals. He has managed to start in every game this season, despite only being in his second year playing safety. Beasley's performance has been exceptional, leading the Cardinals with four interceptions, which is tied for second nationally. Additionally, he is second on the team in pass breakups with three, and has accumulated the third-most total tackles with 42. Louisville's cornerbacks coach, Steve Ellis, had initially recruited Beasley as a high schooler, but Beasley ultimately chose to join the Cardinals on his second attempt due to his desire to experience different coverages. Beasley's versatility and expandable skill set have made him a valuable asset to the team.",
