Georgia starting quarterback Carson Beck will return for a fifth season with the Bulldogs and will play in the team’s upcoming Orange Bowl matchup against Florida State, UGA shared on social media.
“My friends and family have helped put me in a situation to have options for my future,” Beck said in a statement. “However, the NFL can wait one more year. I am returning to UGA for my senior season.”
Beck generated legitimate NFL interest late in the season, throwing for at least 300 yards in five different SEC contests while leading Georgia to a third-straight 12-0 regular season. He started every game for the Bulldogs this season, stepping in for two-time national champion and 2023 Heisman Trophy finalist Stetson Bennett and finished the regular season and SEC Championship Game with 289 completions for 3,738 yards and 22 touchdowns to just six interceptions. He also rushed for 127 yards and four touchdowns.
Beck signed with the Bulldogs in 2020 as a four-star prospect out of Jacksonville, Florida. He played in just 12 games over his first three seasons with the program while serving as a backup to Bennett but decided to stick around and wait his turn to run the offense.
