Georgia QB Carson Beck Commits to Miami, Aiming to Succeed Heisman Finalist

Jan 9, 2025, 11:03 PM

Georgia quarterback Carson Beck, who initially declared for the 2025 NFL Draft, has reversed his decision and entered the NCAA transfer portal. Beck, a two-year starter for the Bulldogs with a 24-3 record, has committed to the University of Miami for his final season of eligibility. The move comes after Beck underwent surgery for a torn UCL in his right elbow, an injury sustained during the SEC Championship game against Texas. Despite the injury, Beck is expected to be ready for the upcoming season, though he will likely miss spring practices. Beck's career at Georgia saw him throw for 7,912 yards and 58 touchdowns. In his final season, he completed 64.7% of his passes for 3,485 yards, with 28 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. His commitment to Miami follows a similar path taken by Cam Ward, who transferred to Miami last year and became a Heisman Trophy finalist, now projected to be a top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Beck's transfer to Miami positions him as a potential successor to Ward, aiming to lead the Hurricanes into the College Football Playoff, with expectations of securing a lucrative NIL deal.
