Carson Beck's decision to back away from pursuing the NFL to transfer to Miami unfolded fast. Unpacking what it means for the former Georgia football QB.

A few college football blue bloods were interested in Carson Beck after he decided to enter the transfer portal instead of head to the NFL draft.

Quarterback Carson Beck chose the University of Miami as his transfer portal destination, but other coaches reportedly reached out before he answered the call for Mario Cristobal.

Beck, who won’t start throwing again for a few months after having UCL surgery, was the only available QB Miami really wanted.

As the NCAA transfer portal continues to go wild, Carson Beck has entered his name into the portal, with Miami favored to land him.

The Athletic and CBS Sports are reporting that Miami’s NIL collective will pay Beck between $3-4 million, which is double the $1.6 million that Cam Ward reportedly was paid for the 2024 season. Beck’s NIL representative didn’t go into specifics, but told CBS Sports that Miami was the right market for Beck.

Georgia, not Miami, was the first team to offer Carson Beck when he entered the transfer portal. But the quarterback chose not to return to Bulldogs.

Carson Beck could become even richer over the long haul through his decision to transfer from Georgia football to Miami this offseason.
