Cole Dickson Beasley (born April 26, 1989) is an American football wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League. He was signed by the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent in 2012. He played college football at Southern Methodist University.
Beasley attended Little Elm High School, where he was an option quarterback, leading his team to the Texas UIL-4A playoffs in consecutive years. He was a district co-MVP, posting 1,184 rushing yards, 12 rushing touchdowns, 1,570 passing yards, and 12 touchdowns. He was rated as a two-star recruit by Rivals.com.
Beasley accepted a scholarship from Southern Methodist University, where he was converted into a wide receiver, playing in 11 games with 7 starts as a freshman, while finishing third on the team with 42 receptions for 366 yards and 3 touchdowns.
As a sophomore, he started 7 games, making 40 receptions (fourth on the team), 493 yards and 3 touchdowns. SMU would win the 2009 Hawaii Bowl marking the first bowl invite since the so-called death penalty.
As a junior, he posted 87 receptions (second for a single-season in school history), 1,060 yards and 6 touchdowns. In his last season, he registered 86 receptions for 1,040 yards (second on the team) and 2 touchdowns.
Beasley went undrafted in the 2012 NFL Draft because of his size and was signed by the Dallas Cowboys. He left abruptly during training camp, stating he was dealing with "personal stuff", and even considered retiring from professional football. He went on to have a sudden change of heart, returning and making the final 53-man roster. In 10 games of his rookie year, he made 15 receptions for 98 receiving yards.
