On "The Paul Finebaum Show," SEC Network analyst Paul Finebaum commented on Beck's decision, stating that Beck recognized the need for a change. "Carson Beck left originally because he wanted to go to the NFL," Finebaum said. "He found out he's not going to the NFL. It's hard to go back. I think he just knew he needed a change."

The 2024 college football season hasn't concluded yet, but former Georgia quarterback Carson Beck is responsible for perhaps the most shocking story of the upcoming offseason by reportedly committing to Miami for the 2025 campaign instead of heading to the NFL.

The Hurricanes aren’t totally sure of that timing. But they are thrilled to have landed Beck, who committed to Miami last week in a massive transfer-portal win for the Hurricanes — who saw another transfer, Cam Ward, have a 2024 season that could make him the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft.
