Overview

• Medically cleared after December elbow surgery, Beck completed unrestricted summer work and will start Sunday night as No. 10 Miami hosts No. 6 Notre Dame.
• His UCL injury ended his Georgia season and led him to enter the portal in January, choose Miami for one more year, and bypass the 2025 NFL Draft.
• Beck arrives with 7,426 passing yards over the past two seasons and two national titles on his résumé, though last year’s output fell to 3,485 yards with 28 touchdowns, 12 interceptions, and 64.7% completions.
• Miami offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson praises Beck’s top-tier football IQ, and Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman labels him an experienced, talented quarterback who makes fast decisions.
• External evaluations vary, with analyst Jake Butt rejecting first‑round projections, as Beck cites longtime trainer Denny Thompson’s role in steering his rehab and readiness.
