247Sports recruiting expert says, “Etta is an above average athlete that plays with good technique.” Etta becomes the 12th commit for the 2023 class as Michigan is ranked 36th overall.

Gaining a commitment from overseas, Beigel is from Germany. He will be now playing at Choate Rosemary Hall in Wallingford, Conn., the next two seasons and will be a part of the 2024 class. The defensive lineman went on a summer recruiting tour called the Dreamchasers Tour making stops at Michigan, Ohio State, Michigan State, Kent State, and Florida. He also had an offer from Central Michigan.

Beigel was discovered through the PPI Recruits Organization and their tour. This organization was founded in 2017 and has helped more than 80 players in 15 countries find Division I scholarships.

Brandon Collier, the founder of PPI Recruits, says, “Beigel is a former soccer player, very light on his feet. He’s running in the low 4.9s in the 40. A big, broad athletic kid, with a lot of room to grow (from maizenbrew.com).”
