Santa Ynez High standout wide receiver Daulton Beard signed his national letter of intent to play football at Portland State on Wednesday.
Beard is a 6-foot-5, three-star recruit who put together a stellar resume in his time in high school.
In his Pirates career, the wideout accumulated 136 receptions, 2,380 receiving yards and 25 total touchdowns.
A Santa Ynez Valley local, Beard has been a strong figure in the Pirates sports community throughout his four years of high school while also excelling in the classroom.
“Sometimes you have to take two steps back to take 10 steps forward,” Beard said about his journey.
He also received offers from the University of Hawaii, Colorado State, Nevada University and Eastern Washington.
Beard will finish off his senior year at Santa Ynez High before heading up to the Northwest in the summer to prepare for the fall season.
