Timothy Ryan Beauchamp (born March 18, 1997) is an American former professional football player who was a defensive end. Beauchamp played college football for the Florida Gators, where he was a member of the 1996 national championship team. He went on to sign contracts with the Cleveland Browns and Green Bay Packers before playing in NFL Europe, the XFL, and the CFL.
Beauchamp played linebacker at New Smyrna Beach High School and was recruited by Steve Spurrier to play college football for Florida.[2] He also set a state record for the clean and jerk, lifting 310 pounds in the 219-pound weight class.[1]
Beauchamp was a member of the 1995 Florida team that won the SEC and went 12–0 before losing the 1996 Fiesta Bowl to Nebraska.
As a sophomore in 1996, Beauchamp started every single game and led the team with 7 sacks.[3] He also started during the 1997 Sugar Bowl, which was the designated national championship game. He recorded a tackle and a pass breakup as Florida won their first national championship over arch-rivals Florida State.[4]
For 1997, Beauchamp arrived at camp 15 pounds over his target weight and only played 4 games during the season, recording only 11 tackles.[5] He also saw time playing defensive tackle following an injury to starter Ed Chester.[6] He played in the 1998 Citrus Bowl. Despite his struggles, he was selected to the 1997 All-SEC second team.[7]
In 4 years at Florida, Beauchamp played in 44 games and recorded 12.5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, 40 solo tackles, and 69 total tackles.[8][1] He earned letterman status during all four of his years in college.[1]
