Carson Beck Transfers to Miami, Secures $4 Million NIL Deal

Former Georgia quarterback Carson Beck reverses his NFL Draft decision to join the Miami Hurricanes, citing strategic and financial motivations.

Carson Beck, previously Georgia's starting quarterback, entered the transfer portal and committed to Miami within 24 hours, leaving the NFL Draft for another year of college football.
Beck is expected to earn $4 million in NIL deals at Miami, making him one of the highest-paid college athletes and surpassing the salaries of some NFL quarterbacks.
The decision follows Beck's season-ending elbow injury and subsequent surgery, which limited his ability to participate in pre-draft workouts and influenced his choice to boost his draft stock in college.
Beck’s move to Miami coincides with his girlfriend Hanna Cavinder's presence on the university’s basketball team, though reports indicate the decision was primarily career-driven.
Miami's football program, needing a veteran quarterback after Cam Ward's departure, aims to leverage Beck’s experience as it builds on a 10-win season and eyes playoff contention in 2025.
