According to an Athens-based publication, Georgia football and quarterback Carson Beck going their separate ways may be best for everyone.

Former University of Georgia quarterback Carson Beck surprised many fans on Friday when he confirmed his transfer to the University of Miami instead of going to the NFL Draft.

The Hurricanes aren’t totally sure of that timing. But they are thrilled to have landed Beck, who committed to Miami last week in a massive transfer-portal win for the Hurricanes — who saw another transfer, Cam Ward, have a 2024 season that could make him the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft.

At Miami, he’ll replace Heisman Trophy finalist Cam Ward, who’s projected by USA TODAY Sports as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft after throwing for 4,313 yards, 39 touchdowns and seven interceptions in his first and only season with the Hurricanes.

Former Georgia quarterback Carson Beck spent roughly 24 hours in the transfer portal before committing to play for the Miami Hurricanes in 2025, according to multiple reports.

The move means Beck — who is recovering from elbow surgery performed in December to repair his right ulnar collateral ligament — is presumably taking over as Cam Ward’s replacement as Miami’s starter for the 2025 season. Beck originally declared for the NFL draft, then entered the transfer portal earlier this week and now will wind up at Miami.

The Hurricanes have a chance to land former Georgia quarterback Carson Beck, who reportedly chose to enter the transfer portal instead of going to the NFL draft.

Georgia Bulldogs senior quarterback Carson Beck has signed with the Miami Hurricanes. Beck entered the transfer portal after previously announcing his plans to enter the 2025 NFL draft. Beck committed to Miami over Ohio State and Texas Tech.
