Carson Beck did something unusual when he got to Georgia in 2020 — he waited. When an inconsistent walk-on named Stetson Bennett IV won the starting job, he waited. When Bennett unexpectedly opted to come back for another year of eligibility, he waited. When NIL deals and the transfer portal beckoned, he waited.
Beck was ranked as the No. 13 quarterback in the Class of 2020. Eight of the 12 players ranked ahead of him transferred out of their programs before Beck took over as the full-time starter. Two switched positions to get on the field. The others? Bryce Young and CJ Stroud. Quarterbacks simply don’t wait their turn anymore, but Beck did. He did everything right. He did right by Georgia.
After five years on campus and two years as the starter, Beck is set to enter the transfer portal. He initially declared for the NFL Draft, but was lured back to the college game. Miami seems like a reasonable destination, though Beck is expected to go through a full process. The Bulldogs lost three games for the first time since 2018.
According to CBS Sports, Georgia was miffed by the way Beck handled himself after suffering a season-ending elbow injury, spending time away from the team while consulting outside medical opinions. The program was only given short notice before he opted to enter the portal. He arrived in New Orleans after the rest of the team.
In the offseason, Beck made headlines after buying an expensive Lamborghini Urus Performante and for dating TikToker and Miami women’s basketball player Hanna Cavinder. It seems the trappings of his fame became a distraction, either for Beck or within Georgia’s locker room. Beck’s excess seems to be at the root of much of the fan frustration in the wake of his exit.
Maybe something…
