Georgia Bulldogs starting quarterback Carson Beck reversed his NFL draft plans and is expected to play another season of college football. Beck entered the transfer portal and may not return to Georgia. Instead, he is expected to transfer even though he could return to UGA.
The Miami Hurricanes have already emerged as the favorite to land Beck’s services according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
“Miami looms as the favorite to land Carson Beck,” said Thamel via social media.
Update: Beck has committed to Miami
Miami has a strong pitch to land Beck. The Hurricanes are coming off a 10-2 season and helped develop quarterback Cam Ward, who is a potential No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL draft. Miami also has plenty of name, image and likeness money to offer Beck. Don’t forget, Beck’s girlfriend, Hanna Cavinder, plays for Miami’s basketball team. So the Hurricanes are a destination that makes a lot of sense for Beck.
Texas Tech and Ohio State have also been named as potential transfer destinations for Carson Beck.
Beck, a senior, won an SEC championship with Georgia in 2024. Unfortunately, Beck suffered an elbow injury during the SEC championship game and will not be able to throw until March. He is expected to miss spring practice.
Beck finished the 2024 season with 3,485 passing yards, 28 passing touchdowns and 12 interceptions. His quarterback rating of 80.9 is No. 9 in the country. Beck is a plug and play starter.
