According to Pro Football Reference, the graduate of Appleton North High School will become the first NFL player from the school if he makes an opening day roster.

The guard from Northwestern will get his shot with Baltimore. The Ravens selected Beerntsen with the 37th pick of the seventh round (253rd overall) of the NFL draft.

Beerntsen was one of two Northwestern linemen selected. Tackle Caleb Tiernan was taken by the Minnesota Vikings in the third round.

USA TODAY and CBS Sports liked the pick for the potential depth it provides. The Ravens also selected a guard, Penn State’s Olaivavega Ioane, with its first-round pick.

Beerntsen played at FCS South Dakota State from 2019-24 and joined Northwestern as a graduate transfer for the 2025 season.

Beerntsen played in just four games during his first two seasons at South Dakota but eventually blossomed into a starter for a program that won the FCS national title in 2023 and ’24. In his final season with the Jackrabbits he was a second-team Associated Press All-American. In his only season at Northwestern he allowed zero sacks or quarterback hits and was an honorable mention all-Big Ten selection on the coaches and media teams.

Beerntsen measured 6-3 ½ and 301 pounds at the NFL combine..

Beernsten received the highest grade from Pro Football Focus among Northwestern linemen (79.0). Northwestern ranked 96th in the nation in total offense (346.1 yards per game) and 65th in rushing (160.2 ypg).

Beerntsen participated in four drills at the combine. He ran the 40-yard dash in 5.25 seconds, posted a 10-yard split of 1.82 seconds. His vertical jump was 32.5 inches and his broad jump was 8 feet, 9 inches.
