In a surprising turn of events, former Georgia football quarterback Carson Beck is reportedly entering the transfer portal, according to multiple reports.
Beck originally declared for the NFL draft on Dec. 28 but appears to have changed his mind on his next move. ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported Miami is the favorite to land his services, although he’s expected to listen to all offers.
Thamel added Beck is expected to make a decision in the next week.
Beck entered the season expected to be among the top contenders for the Heisman Trophy and the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft but instead had a worse season than he did in 2023, completing 290 of 448 passes (64.7%) for 3,485 yards with 28 touchdowns to 12 interceptions, six of which came in Georgia’s top five ranked wins over Texas and Alabama.
In 2023, Beck completed 302 of 417 passes (72.4%) for 3,941 yards with 24 touchdowns to six interceptions in his first season as the starter, albeit he had first-round picks Brock Bowers and Ladd McConkey to throw to in 2023.
Miami makes plenty of sense for Beck, as he’s from Jacksonville, Florida, and is also dating Miami women’s basketball guard Hanna Cavinder, one half of the social media star duo ‘Cavinder Twins’ with Haley Cavinder.
The 6-foot-4 signal caller is not yet ranked by 247Sports’ rankings, however, he’s expected to be among the top-ranked recruits of the cycle. The former Georgia starter is hoping to regain the form he showed in 2023 with his final season of eligibility.
