Former Georgia QB Carson Beck Transfers Miami for 2025 Starting Role

Carson Beck, former Georgia quarterback with a 24-3 starting record, transferred to Miami after an elbow injury curtailed his 2024 season, opting out of the NFL Draft. Beck joins Miami as the heir to Cam Ward, the Hurricanes' previous quarterback who was a Heisman finalist and the top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, but Beck is confident in handling the pressure, comparing it to following Stetson Bennett at Georgia. Miami coach Mario Cristobal praised Beck's experience, competitiveness, and football IQ, highlighting his readiness despite the recent elbow surgery that required mental adjustment to regain trust in his arm. Beck expressed excitement about Miami's talent, culture, and player-led practices, emphasizing the accumulated experience gained from facing top SEC defenses at Georgia as an asset for the Hurricanes. Although Georgia reportedly wanted Beck back in 2025, the school chose to move forward with Gunner Stockton, prompting Beck's move to Miami, where he has also found significant NIL success. Beck's final play at Georgia, a crucial handoff leading to an SEC championship win, remains a memorable moment as he prepares to lead Miami's offense in pursuit of the program's first ACC championship and College Football Playoff appearance.
