Georgia Bulldogs senior quarterback Carson Beck signed with the Miami Hurricanes on Friday. Beck entered the transfer portal on Thursday, reversing his original decision to enter the 2025 NFL draft.
Beck committed to Miami over Ohio State and Texas Tech. Beck joins his girlfriend, Miami women’s basketball player Hanna Cavinder, at Miami.
Beck’s NFL draft declaration reversal looks like a wise decision. Beck is recovering from UCL surgery (elbow). Beck suffered the injury in the first half of Georgia’s SEC championship win over Texas. Beck is expected to make a full recovery and play a final season of college football.
At Miami, Beck is expected to earn a significant amount of money via name, image and likeness licensing deals.
Beck was the top-ranked player and quarterback in the transfer portal and is expected to start immediately for Miami. Beck entered the portal with a do not contact tag, so it appears he already had Miami in mind as his destination before he entered the transfer portal.
Beck finished the 2024 college season with 3,485 passing yards, 28 passing touchdowns and 12 interceptions. His quarterback rating of 80.9 is ranked No. 9 in the country.
Beck had ups and downs this season. He struggled with interceptions at midseason, but led Georgia to the College Football Playoff despite facing a challenging schedule. Beck wraps up his UGA career with a 24-3 record as the starter.
Beck replaces Cam Ward as Miami’s starting quarterback. Ward is projected to be one of the top picks in the 2025 NFL draft.
