The Georgia Bulldogs’ 2024 season came to an end last week with a loss to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the quarterfinals of the College Football Playoff. With the end of the year, there was an expectation that Carson Beck’s career was done at this level as the Bulldogs would move on to Gunner Stockton.
However, the surprising news came out on Thursday that Beck would actually be choosing to continue his college career. However, it will be with a new team.
Beck announced that he would be entering the transfer portal and looking for a new school this offseason, trying to find a championship contender to lead in his final year of eligibility.

This comes as quite a surprise, as many thought that Beck would either go to the 2025 NFL Draft and head to the professional level, or potentially return to Athens for one more year with Georgia.
Instead, though, he will be wearing a new uniform in 2025 and looking to boost his NFL draft stock after having a tough year in 2024, throwing for 28 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.
Here’s a look at how fans reacted to the surprising news on social media.
There is an early belief that Beck is likely going to end up with the Miami Hurricanes, playing under Mario Cristobal and coming in to replace Cam Ward. Beck will be one of the top available players in the transfer portal going forward until he announces his commitment, which could reportedly come very soon.
While his 2024 season may not have ended as he had planned, with an elbow injury forcing him to miss Georgia’s playoff game against Notre Dame, there is still a future ahead for No. 15.
