At Miami, he’ll replace Heisman Trophy finalist Cam Ward, who’s projected by USA TODAY Sports as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft after throwing for 4,313 yards, 39 touchdowns and seven interceptions in his first and only season with the Hurricanes.

That seems to be the path Georgia quarterback Carson Beck is traversing after the former star Bulldogs QB committed to Miami on Friday, just one day after entering the transfer portal.  Many draft pundits considered Beck a first-round draft pick heading into the 2024 campaign.

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