Safe Hands: Beckham Denu Joins the United

DeKalb County United is excited to announce the signing of goalkeeper Beckham Denu for the upcoming season.

Beloit native and UW-Eau Claire goalkeeper Beckham Denu joins DeKalb County United.

A standout athlete from Beloit, Wisconsin, Beckham brings a commanding presence to the box. Standing at 6'4", he has recently been honing his craft at the collegiate level with UW-Eau Claire, following a decorated high school career where he was a multi-sport threat in soccer, basketball, and football.

Beckham isn't a new face to the United family; he has been around the club for a while and jumped at the chance to officially join the roster. For him, the decision to sign was simple: it’s close to home, and he’s long admired the culture surrounding the program.

"Both of my parents have had the biggest influence on me," Beckham says. "They always push me to be the best I can be." That drive is evident in his straightforward goal for the summer: making big saves and keeping the Annies in every match.

When he isn’t patrolling the goal line, Beckham keeps things low-key. A perfect summer evening for him involves a simple slice of pizza and recharging for the next training session. While he’s a Manchester United supporter on the weekends, his focus this summer is entirely on the green and yellow.

We’re ready to see Beckham command the defense at the NIU Soccer Stadium. Welcome to the squad, Beckham!
