After five seasons at Georgia, Carson Beck will finish his College Football career in his home state. Beck has committed to play the 2025 season at Miami, settling the dust on a touch-and-go month for the Jacksonville native.

Beck started 27 straight games for Georgia at quarterback, helping the Bulldogs to a 24-3 record. He suffered an ulnar collateral ligament injury on the final play of the first half of the SEC Championship game in early December and had surgery to repair the damage approximately two weeks later.

Soon after having that surgery, Beck announced that he would be entering the 2024 NFL Draft. That came on December 28. Approximately two weeks after that, on January 9, Beck made it known that he intended to enter the transfer portal.

When Beck’s name ultimately showed up in the portal, it did so with a no-contact tag, which often means a player knows where he is going. He commits to the Hurricanes one day later.

Beck set Georgia’s single-season completion percentage record in 2023, connecting on 72.4 percent of his passes and throwing for 3,941 yards 24 touchdowns and six interceptions. He also added 118 yards rushing and four touchdowns on the ground.

After electing to come back for the 2024 season, Beck was immediately in the Heisman Trophy discussion and some viewed him as the potential No. 1 overall pick. The season got off to a decent start through two games but Beck and the Bulldog offense struggled for the next few weeks. Georgia scratched by Kentucky before falling behind 28-0 in Tuscaloosa. Beck turned it over four times in that game but he also threw the Bulldogs back into it as they took the lead in the fourth quarter. Alabama got it back with one play and Beck’s fourth turnover of the game, an interception with less than a minute left, sealed the game.

Beck went on to throw at least two interceptions in three of his next four games. He had three interceptions in each of Georgia’s wins over Texas and Florida and he threw two picks in a home win over Mississippi State.

After the Bulldogs dropped their second game of the season at Ole Miss, a game where Beck threw one interception on a tipped pass, the veteran quarterback settled down. He played the next 3.5 quarters of football without an interception and helped Georgia grab comeback wins over Tennessee and Georgia Tech. His last snap as a Bulldog saw him hand the ball off to Trevor Etienne for a walk-off touchdown in the SEC Championship game.
