Georgia quarterback Carson Beck has announced his intentions for the 2025 season, and the Bulldog signal caller is planning to enter the NFL Draft. Beck took to Instagram Saturday morning to share a message with UGA fans.

“First off I want to thank God, for blessing me with the opportunity to play the game I love. Through the ups and downs, the highs and lows, everything that this game produces and provides i’m eternally grateful for. Football has taught me lessons that will last a lifetime and has grown me into the person I am today. I’m so grateful for my family and those close to me for the support they’ve provided me during this Journey. They’ve always had my back no matter what the circumstance, and I can’t thank them enough for that,” Beck wrote. “To Coach Smart, Coach Bobo and the rest of the Coaches who were apart of my tenure at UGA, thank you for your wisdom, your unwavering support, and most importantly the time that you’ve sacrificed pouring into not only me, but the many others who came before and after. Thank you for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to lead this team. It’s been a blessing and i’m forever grateful. To my teammates, i’ve been blessed to play with not only so many talented guys, but guys who are good people. There’s so many bonds that have been built that will last a lifetime and the people in that locker room is what I’ll miss most. I enjoyed every second of being with you guys and love you guys like brothers. It’s been an honor and I wouldn’t want to go to war with anyone else. There’s unfinished business still this season and i’ll be here to support however I can, finish strong!”

“The past five years at the University of Georgia have been nothing short of a dream come true and I will forever cherish the memories that have been made. Thank you Dawg Nation for the time i’ve been here and to those who’ve supported and believed in me, thank you,” he continued. “It’s been an incredible journey and all these moments have ultimately led me to take the next step in my football career. With that being said, I will be declaring for the 2025 NFL Draft. Go Dawgs!”

Beck underwent successful surgery on his throwing elbow to repair damage to his UCL suffered in the SEC Championship Game against Texas. He sustained the injury on the final play of the first half in the with Georgia trailing 6-3, as he attempted a Hail Mary but held on to the ball long enough for the Longhorn pass rush to get home. His arm was hit as he threw, torquing it unnaturally. After staying on the field for a couple of minutes and being attended to by trainers and coaches, Beck left the field on his own power with his right arm dangling at his side. He returned to the sideline in the second half with ice on both his shoulder and his elbow.

The fifth year signal caller out of Jacksonville took over the starting position for Georgia ahead of the 2023 season. Since then, he’s started all 27 contests, totaling 7,426 passing yards and 57 total touchdowns.

It’s been an up-and-down campaign for Beck. He finished the regular season leading the SEC in both passing touchdowns and interceptions, going through a six-game stretch that saw him toss all 12 including multiple in four contests. Recently though, Beck has bounced back strong. He didn’t turn it over in Georgia’s last three games of the regular season, throwing for 11 touchdowns and 941 yards in that time.

Beck passes on one year of possible eligibility remaining despite spending five seasons in Athens. He is the fourth-rated quarterback in this year’s draft according to ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr.
