Beetham, who saw his 2017 season end early because of injury discussed what he's been working on to improve his game this off season.

I'm working with a few quarterback coaches including Greg Holcolm this off season."
Does Beetham have a dream school?
"My dream school has always been Notre Dame. Ever since I was a little kid I was always a Notre Dame fan. I actually have a picture when I was a one year old wearing Notre Dame gear."
