Carson Beck didn’t take long to pick a new school.
The former Georgia QB announced Friday that he was heading to Miami for the 2025 season and his final year of eligibility. Beck had previously declared for the NFL Draft but entered the transfer portal on Thursday as he decided to stay in college for another season.

Beck suffered a season-ending elbow injury late in the first half of Georgia’s SEC title game win over Texas in December when he was hit while attempting to throw a deep pass. Beck missed the rest of the game — though he came in to hand the ball off late near the goal line — and also missed the team’s Sugar Bowl loss to Notre Dame.
Gunner Stockton replaced Beck against Texas and started against Notre Dame. He's set to compete for the Bulldogs' starting job in 2025 along with Ryan Puglisi.
Beck was Georgia's starter for two seasons and had a down year in 2024. Beck was one of the better QBs in college football in 2023 and was 302-of-417 passing for 3,941 yards and 24 TDs with six interceptions a season ago.
But with players like Brock Bowers and Ladd McConkey off to the NFL in 2024, Beck's stats took a dip as Georgia didn't have a top-tier receiving option.
Beck was 302-of-417 passing for 3,941 yards and 24 TDs with six interceptions a season ago. Beck was 290-of-448 passing for 3,485 yards and 28 TDs in 2024, but he also threw 12 interceptions as his interception rate nearly doubled from 1.4% in 2023 to 2.7% in 2024.
