However, Beck’s impressive football skills won’t come as a surprise to fans of the TikTok star, who know that he has a history with the sport prior to his social media fame.
In his last two years of high school, the star played for the Real Salt Lake Academy, and went on to get a full-ride scholarship at the University of Portland. He ended up dropping out after completing his second semester, however, pursuing his social media career instead.
Beck’s team World XI went on to win the charity football game for the fourth year in a row, much to the delight of fans who had tuned in to support the TikTok star.
