Georgia Bulldogs starting quarterback Carson Beck reversed his NFL draft plans and is now expecting to play another season of college football. Beck intends the transfer portal and may not return to Georgia for another season. 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.
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, Carson 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 and unable to play with Georgia in the College Football Playoff. Beck had surgery on his elbow and won’t 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 QBR (quarterback rating) of 80.9 is ranked No. 9 in the country. Beck is a plug and play starter.
