Head Coach Kirby Smart Makes Huge Announcement Regarding New Details Emerging on Carson Beck’s Departure From Georgia.
Fans were taken aback when Carson Beck chose to join the Miami Hurricanes for the 2025 season after leaving the Georgia Bulldogs via the transfer portal. Even if the quarterback has been criticized for his choice, fresh information on the matter has surfaced, which will undoubtedly draw attention from supporters worldwide.
Beck had a difficult 2024 season, throwing for 3,485 yards and 28 touchdowns but also recording the most interceptions (12) of any SEC quarterback. In the SEC Championship game against the Texas Longhorns, Beck sustained a right elbow injury that necessitated surgery, ending his season early.
After initially declaring for the 2025 NFL Draft, Beck decided to use the transfer portal instead. According to reports, Georgia was the first team to contact him and attempt to recruit him for the 2025 season; the Alabama Crimson Tide also made contact with him before the Hurricanes did, even though he ultimately signed with Miami.
According to Matt Hayes, a source familiar with Beck’s decision who requested anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the process, told USA TODAY Sports that Georgia was Beck’s top choice—despite facing criticism from Bulldogs fans on social media following the team’s early exit from the College Football Playoff. Following Georgia, SEC powerhouse Alabama was the next team to reach out.

Although Beck received criticism for his patchy performance in 2024, the Bulldogs lost badly in the College Football Playoffs without him. Georgia lost their opening game against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, which sent them into the summer far earlier than anticipated, even though they had earned the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye.
Beck left for Miami, where he will try to have a successful season before declaring for the 2026 NFL Draft, despite the Bulldogs’ best attempts to keep him in town. Georgia is now in a bind as they attempt to decide who will start at quarterback for the upcoming campaign.
