About Me
Welcome to my world!
While many athletes started competing in football as children, I didn't find my true passion for the game until middle school. I immediately took to playing football because I loved all aspects of the game.
Playing this game, you need be tough, because you are going to be challenged every day on the field. From the snap of the ball, the game is not predictable and the challenge is enormous, the end result is if you are lucky to play this game, you will become addicted.
I was born in 2006, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, home of the Steelers, where black and gold runs in your veins. Football is a way of life in the Steel country and there are so many great players from this region. For me, I especially appreciate and respect the talent of Steelers Linebacker T.J. Watt.
When I am not playing football, I enjoy running track and lifting weights. My favorite subject in school is chemistry and computer science. I also enjoy writing for PittsburghUrbanMedia.com as a sports writer and I am a photographer for the SSA yearbook. I am also on the Black Student Union committee at SSA. During the summer I work as a technology counselor and I also work with Dicks Sports Goods corporation part-time in retail.
I am proud of being a MVP in a game during my senior year, leading the track team as a captain and having my photography selected for the year book cover.
Welcome to IsaiahBeckham.com
Football is a positive force in my life, I really enjoy grinding under the Friday night lights where I can showcase my linebacker and running back skills playing for Shady Side Academy as a junior. I have been playing football since the 6th grade at SSA and it is truly one of the best experiences of my life. I am learning valuable lessons on the gridiron, including respect, sportsmanship and dedication. I understand in order to pursue my dream of ultimately playing college football, I have to put in the work daily to build my athletic ability as well as my academic skills.
Ultimately football is a tough sport, and if you want to be successful playing this game you have to put in the extra hard work daily, be relentless in your preparation. I am focused on becoming a better player by learning how to execute the plays, become quicker on my toes and mentally learning how to become stronger. Playing football, there will always be unpredictable challenges that come with having a successful season and you have to be ready for any unusual circumstances. Be flexible, have a good attitude and keep grinding!
Football is a passion that I am dedicated to pursuing and I hope to continue to grow as an overall athlete because I sure love this game!
Welcome to my football journey, see you in the end zone.

Black History Month promotion draws entries from far and wide The Tribune- Democrat
February 13, 2022
Isaiah is a content contributor to the site. His essay – titled “Inclusion Matters” – for the Tribune’s contest focuses on his experiences as a Black teen and his vision for a better tomorrow.
“I felt what I wrote about was very important,” he said in a phone interview.
Beckham said the question about an inclusive society addresses an important topic.
“Just because you’re Black doesn’t mean you can’t break through these stereotypes,” he said. “No matter where you come from, these stereotypes can’t hold you back for long.
“It doesn’t mean you can’t make an impact on your community.”
COVID & Get the booster PSA
On February 11, 2022 I was interviewed by the WQED-TV team about the importance of getting the COVID Booster. In this interview I share my thoughts about why I believe it's critical for teens to get their shots to stay alive and not spread COVID to anyone else. Through the year, we have been wearing masks and I feel safer knowing I got the booster. Especially playing sports like football, I feel the need to be more protected.
