A big name in the college football transferred portal made a quick decision as former Georgia quarterback Carson Beck committed to Miami.
Beck, a two-time College Football Playoff national champion at Georgia, originally declared for the 2025 NFL Draft but reportedly entered the transfer portal on Thursday.
Then by Friday afternoon, his commitment to Miami was publicized.
He will replace Cam Ward, a Heisman Trophy Finalist who will turn pro as this season is complete. Ward played one season for Miami after transferring from Washington State and is considered one of the top quarterbacks in this draft class.
Beck is an experienced and accomplished quarterback who can help a program trying to win next season under head coach Mario Cristobal.
MIAMI WBB: Why Hanna Cavinder says she’s un-retiring from college basketball
He also has some immediate connections to the university as his girlfriend, Hanna Cavinder, is currently on the women’s basketball team.
She is in the starting lineup alongside her twin sister Haley Cavinder.
Although his girlfriend is currently in her final year of collegiate eligibility, perhaps her endorsement of the campus and athletic department helped to convince Beck to make his decision rather than stay at Georgia or turn pro.
