2028 four-star athlete Ja’Kye Beard announced on X, formerly known as Twitter, that he is leaving Paris (TN) Henry County and transferring to Martin (Tenn.) Westview Chargers, which ended as Tennessee’s No. 11 ranked team. Beard finished as the state’s No. 10 player, No. 11 position wise and No. 204 nationally.

First off I want to thank Jesus Christ for blessing me with this opportunity to be able to play the game I love. I also want to thank Henry County for everything they’ve done for me!! After that being said I am grateful to announce I have transferred to Westview!

Beard joins 2028 four-star quarterback Graham Simpson, who had himself a strong second season playing behind center for the state champion Chargers as the quarterback throughout the 2025 campaign had many big performances last fall. Through 14 games, Simpson threw for 4,843 yards and 40-plus touchdowns.

The 2025 campaign ended with Westview going undefeated at 14-0 and reaching the TSSAA Class 3A, Division I state championship and falling to Alcoa, 40-21, in last year’s title game.
