Carson Beck, Georgia’s quarterback, has entered the NCAA transfer portal after previously declaring for the 2025 NFL Draft. This decision follows a challenging 2024 season, during which Beck threw for 3,485 yards, 28 touchdowns, and an SEC-high 12 interceptions. His performance was further impacted by a UCL injury in his right elbow, requiring surgery and sidelining him for Georgia’s College Football Playoff appearance.
Several programs are potential landing spots for Beck:
Miami Hurricanes: Miami is considered the frontrunner to secure Beck. The Hurricanes have a vacancy at quarterback following Cam Ward’s departure and have previously succeeded with transfer quarterbacks. Additionally, Beck’s girlfriend, Hanna Cavinder, plays basketball for Miami, adding a personal connection.
Alabama Crimson Tide: With Jalen Milroe declaring for the NFL Draft, Alabama seeks an experienced quarterback. Beck’s familiarity with SEC defenses could make him an appealing option for the Crimson Tide.
Texas Tech Red Raiders: Texas Tech has been actively pursuing a starting quarterback. Beck’s experience and skill set could be a good fit for their offensive scheme.
UCLA Bruins: With a new offensive coordinator in Tino Sunseri, UCLA might consider Beck to lead their offense, especially given Sunseri’s previous familiarity with Beck during recruitment.
Georgia Bulldogs: A return to Georgia isn’t entirely off the table. Given the current quarterback depth chart, Beck could reclaim his starting position if he chooses to stay.
Beck’s decision to transfer aims to rehabilitate his draft stock after a season that didn’t meet expectations. His choice of program will be crucial in providing the platform to showcase his abilities and prepare for a future professional career.
