Former Georgia quarterback Carson Beck has announced his commitment to play for the Miami Hurricanes next season, marking a significant addition to the team's roster. Beck, who had initially declared for the NFL draft, decided to push back his plans and enter the transfer portal before ultimately choosing Miami.
Beck, who recently underwent elbow surgery to repair his right ulnar collateral ligament, is expected to take over as the starting quarterback for the Hurricanes in the 2025 season. His signing with Miami was confirmed through a grant-in-aid agreement, although details were not publicly disclosed.
During his five seasons at Georgia, Beck showcased impressive stats, completing 68% of his passes for 7,912 yards, 58 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. He appeared in 39 games for the Bulldogs, with a notable 24-3 record in the last two seasons.
Beck's decision to join Miami follows in the footsteps of Cam Ward, who also contemplated entering the NFL draft before opting to play for the Hurricanes. Ward had a standout season, setting new Miami single-season records in passing yards, touchdowns, and completion percentage.
Miami's pursuit of a quarterback in the transfer portal was expected, especially after Ward's departure. Emory Williams briefly took over in the Pop-Tarts Bowl after Ward's exit, but the Hurricanes suffered a narrow defeat against Iowa State.
Beck's commitment to Miami has generated excitement among fans and players alike, with his girlfriend, Miami women's basketball guard Hanna Cavinder, expressing her support on social media. The Hurricanes are looking forward to seeing Beck in action and are hopeful that he will make a significant impact on the team's performance next season.
