Carson Beck‘s transfer from the University of Georgia to the University of Miami has raised eyebrows across the college football landscape, and one NFL scout believes the switch isn’t a good display of his professional qualities.
Once hailed as a rising star following a promising 2023 campaign, the quarterback’s trajectory took a sharp turn in 2024, ultimately leading to questions about both his performance and character.
Among the critics is the renowned analyst Todd McShay, whose cold assessment has brought new scrutiny to Beck’s departure from Athens on January 9, shortly after declaring for the NFL Draft before opting against it.
Despite the 23-year-old throwing for 24 touchdowns and just six interceptions, expectations for the Georgia signal-caller soared heading into 2024. However, that optimism quickly faded. Beck struggled with inconsistency, throwing 12 interceptions and failing to meet the high standards he had previously set.
His decline in form coincided with increased media attention, particularly surrounding his public relationship with the Hurricanes’ Hanna Cavinder, which then ended via injury during the SEC Championship Game.
Despite his status as the face of Georgia’s offense, the program showed little hesitation in moving on. The seemingly quiet parting of ways sparked speculation that deeper issues may have been at play.
And McShay did not hold back during a July 14 episode of his show as he suggested that Georgia’s willingness to let go of Beck might reflect concerns that go beyond football, centered about his personality.
“Do you trust the guy,” McShay questioned. “And I’m not talking about the quarterback. I’m talking, ‘Do you trust the guy?’
“If this guy was that good, and more importantly, if they trusted him and they loved the guy… and it was about the team, and about the guys in his huddle, the guys in the locker room…
“You’re telling me the dawgs wouldn’t have come up with the money and made sure that this was the No. 1 priority?”
Can Beck respond in Miami?
Now in Florida, Beck has a chance to reset his career. Though the pressure to replace their departed standout, Cam Ward, is substantial, the environment may be more favorable. Miami’s offense, which is regarded as more dynamic than Georgia’s.
This offers Beck a new platform supported by a strong offensive line led by Francis Mauigoa and weapons like SEC transfer CJ Daniels. Even the schedule falls in his favor too as the Hurricanes rank 36th in terms of most difficult, whilst the Bulldogs are 13th.
Still, expectations remain high. With the team hoping to build on Ward’s success, Beck will need to show immediate progress and avoid the turnovers that plagued his final year in Athens.
His talent is unquestioned but as McShay pointed out, NFL teams and college programs alike want more than just skill so Beck’s time in Miami will not only be a test of performance but also of trust, leadership, and accountability.

College Football Preview 2025: Clemson Tigers
2024 Recap The 2023 season marked the first time Clemson didn’t win 10 games since 2010. Because of that, the program donned its lowest preseason ranking in a decade entering 2024 (No. 14). The Tigers got back on track last year by winning their eighth ACC title over the past 10 years and thereby clinching their seventh playoff spot. Since Clemson brings back almost everyone from last year’s squad, the Tigers are the clear favorite to win the ACC and are one of the top contenders to win the national championship. Clemson has PFF’s best offense and the third-best defense in college football heading into 2025. Biggest Strength: Continuity from a playoff team The 2025 version of Clemson will look very similar to the one that won the ACC Championship last season. The Tigers return 16 of their 20 most […]
2025 NFL Preview: Los Angeles Rams
Head Coach: Sean McVay (ninth season) PFF projected win total: 9.5 2024 Record: 10-7 (first in NFC West, lost in NFC divisional round) Biggest Strength: Pass Catchers The Rams carried the NFL’s highest-graded wide receiver unit last season and could be even better in 2025. Puka Nacua led the NFL in PFF receiving grade despite missing six games. Los Angeles let Cooper Kupp depart but picked up Davante Adams, who earned a 76.8 PFF receiving grade last season. Tutu Atwell and Jordan Whittington are also viable options, as is a deep tight end room that features Tyler Higbee, Colby Parkinson and second-round rookie Terrance Ferguson. Biggest Weakness: Pass Protection The Rams’ pass protection, or lack thereof, was often the biggest determinant of their success in 2024. They ranked 30th as a team in PFF pass-blocking grade and lost seven of […]
