Carson Beck Cleared, Set as Miami's Starting QB

Miami quarterback Carson Beck has been cleared to participate in all summer team activities and is nearing full recovery after elbow surgery that ended his Georgia career during the SEC Championship Game. Head coach Mario Cristobal reports Beck has been throwing for three weeks and is exceeding recovery benchmarks, though he missed spring practice and has not yet thrown to Miami's receivers during organized workouts. Beck, who initially declared for the 2025 NFL Draft, opted to transfer to Miami, attracted by a substantial NIL package, and will replace No. 1 overall draft pick Cam Ward as the Hurricanes' starting quarterback. In 2024, Beck threw for 3,485 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions at Georgia, and his performance and experience have generated optimism for Miami's ACC contention. Coaches and analysts are closely monitoring his adaptation to Miami's system and his potential to match or surpass his previous achievements. Beck is regarded as a central figure in Miami's expectations for the upcoming college football season.
