Former Georgia quarterback Carson Beck spent roughly 24 hours in the transfer portal before committing to play for the Miami Hurricanes in 2025, according to multiple reports.
Beck, who is recovering from elbow surgery, originally announced his intention to enter the 2025 NFL Draft. However, he did not sign representation and 12 days later decided to play another season of college football, officially entering the transfer portal on Thursday with a do not contact tag.
Reports quickly surfaced that Miami was among the leading candidates to sign Beck, who will follow in the footsteps of Cam Ward. Ward withdrew from last year’s draft after not being projected as a first-round pick. He committed to Miami, where he threw for 4,313 yards and 39 touchdowns this past season, and is now favored to be the No. 1 overall pick in April.
The 6-foot-4, 220-pound Beck suffered a season-ending injury in the Bulldogs’ win over Texas in last month’s SEC Championship. He missed Georgia’s loss to Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals.
A two-year starter, Beck passed for 7,912 yards with 58 touchdowns and 20 interceptions for the Bulldogs. He spent five seasons in Athens and has one year of eligibility remaining.
Beck, 22, had surgery on his right elbow Dec. 23 and will not be able to throw until March, but is expected to be fully cleared for fall camp in August.
Field Level Media ranked Beck as the No. 6 quarterback in the 2025 draft before his decision. One of the biggest names in this transfer portal cycle, he has an NIL valuation of $4.2 million by On3.com.
At Mandarin High School in Florida, Beck was Mr. Football in the state in 2018, guiding Mandarin to the Class 8A state championship.
