Tim Beebe came to Nebraska Wesleyan from Stromsburg, Neb., and thrived as a wide receiver in the mid to late 1980s.

Beebe, who also competed for the track and field teams, left a lasting impression on the NWU football record books. He remains the single-season leader at Nebraska Wesleyan with 13 touchdown receptions in 1986 and set single-game marks for most receiving touchdowns (4) and most receiving yards (272). Beebe also shares the team record for most points scored in a single game (24).

He still ranks second in career TD catches (23), career points (162), points in a season (84) and points per game in a season (9.3). His 1,907 career receiving yards and 853 receiving yards in 1986 both rank third, and Beebe also ranks among the Top 10 all-time at NWU for his career punt return average (11.5), career receptions (99) and career kick return average (19.3).

His success was recognized with All-Conference selections in 1986 and 1987. He also made NAIA Division II All-America Honorable Mention and NCAA Division III Pizza Hut All-America in 1987. While competing for the track and field team, Beebe qualified for Nationals in the long jump (indoor and outdoor) and the 4x100-meter relay (outdoor) in both 1987 and 1988.
