Beckner, the No. 36 player in the 2015 class, took his official visits to Auburn, Florida State, Missouri and Ohio State. He has been discussing each of the four schools with his family and coaches and will announce his decision at 9:45 am CT on Wednesday.
"There are going to be all four (hats on the table)," Beckner said. "There has been a lot of back and forth. It has been going pretty good. I'll get with the family and we'll talk some more about it."
Beckner is coming off his most recent official visit, which was to Missouri this past weekend. The Tigers were the only school he unofficially visited and were the early leaders for his services.
"It was good," Beckner said. "They have a lot more going on and it was good to see another side. They are adding more dorms and stuff."
The Missouri coaching staff matched Beckner up with sophomore defensive tackle Harold Brantley, and his interaction with the players on the team was positive.
"I was real comfortable with them," Beckner said.
Beckner was accompanied by several members of his family on the official visit, and said they all gave him positive feedback on their impressions.
Prior to his official visit to Missouri, Beckner took an official visit to Ohio State the weekend of Jan. 23.
"I had a good visit there," Beckner said. "Coach (Larry) Johnson, he was very easy to get along with, and all the coaches were."
Auburn hosted Beckner for an official visit the weekend of Jan. 16. He took his first official visit to Florida State the weekend of Nov. 28.
Ranked as the No. 5 defensive tackle, Beckner is the highest-ranked prospect in the Midwest's 2015 class and the only four-star uncommitted headed into National Signing Day.
