New details have emerged about Carson Beck’s departure from Georgia, shedding light on the circumstances surrounding his transfer to Miami. According to sources, Georgia was the first team to approach Beck about staying for the 2025 season, with Alabama also reaching out to him before he made his decision.¹ ²
Beck’s decision to leave Georgia was reportedly influenced by his desire to bounce back from a rocky 2024 campaign, where he threw for 3,485 yards and 28 touchdowns, but also tossed 12 interceptions, the most of any quarterback in the SEC. His season ended early due to a right elbow injury that required surgery.
Despite his inconsistent play, Beck was still a highly sought-after quarterback, with Miami ultimately winning out in the recruitment process. The Hurricanes’ ability to offer a competitive Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) package, reportedly worth over $3 million, was likely a significant factor in Beck’s decision.³
Beck’s transfer to Miami has also raised eyebrows due to his personal connections to the university. His girlfriend, Hanna Cavinder, plays for Miami’s women’s basketball team, and the couple’s relationship has been highly publicized.
In the aftermath of Beck’s departure, Georgia is now looking to Gunner Stockton to lead the team as its starting quarterback. Stockton had a strong performance in the Sugar Bowl against Notre Dame, finishing 20-for-32 with 234 yards and a touchdown.⁴
Overall, Carson Beck’s departure from Georgia marks the end of an era for the Bulldogs, but also presents an opportunity for the team to move forward with a new quarterback at the helm. As for Beck, his transfer to Miami sets him up for a potential bounce-back season in 2025, and a chance to improve his draft stock for the 2026 NFL Draft.
