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.

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.

Carson Beck didn’t take long to pick a new school. The former Georgia QB announced Friday he's heading to Miami for the 2025 season and his final year of eligibility. Beck had previously declared for the NFL Draft but entered the transfer portal Thursday as he decided to stay in college for another season.

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.
