Carson Beck, a talented quarterback who made waves at Georgia, has now committed to suiting up for the Miami Hurricanes. This move caps a whirlwind journey for Beck, who initially set his sights on the 2025 NFL Draft after impressively manning the QB spot at Georgia. The 2023 season was Beck’s breakout moment after the departure of Stetson Bennett, throwing for an impressive 3,941 yards and 24 touchdowns, leaving many to speculate about his potential NFL future.
However, Beck chose to sharpen his skills further with the Bulldogs in 2024. Despite the bright spots, including posting a new career-high with 28 touchdowns, Beck faced challenges in ball security. Those struggles included topping the SEC with 12 interceptions, notably a rough patch from Week 6 to Week 9. His draft ambitions took another hit during the SEC Championship when a torn UCL sidelined him, ultimately requiring surgery.
Though his injury appeared to steer him back towards another year of college ball, Beck’s turnabout decision to hit the transfer portal opened new doors. Miami quickly emerged as a suitor, with Beck drawn to the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Cam Ward, who also opted for Miami after declaring for the draft last year. Ward’s transition to the Hurricanes paid off, boosting his draft stock to a potential top-five pick projection.
Beck’s switch to Miami isn’t just about the on-field opportunities, though. The possibility of securing a substantial NIL deal hovered around his decision, marking him as one of the highest-profile players in this year’s transfer portal cycle. As he recovers from his injury, Beck is poised to add his name to the storied ranks of Miami quarterbacks, with plenty of anticipation surrounding what he can accomplish with the Hurricanes.
