why did carson beck transfer

Carson Beck transferred from Georgia to Miami primarily for a fresh start and better opportunities both on and off the field. He felt his time at Georgia had run its course ("everything has a shelf life") and after a disappointing 2024 season marked by an elbow injury and a drop in his NFL draft stock, he chose Miami for a chance to rebuild his career. Miami offered him a better offensive fit and scheme, which Beck has said was critical for his success and future as a quarterback. Additionally, the transfer included a significant NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) deal expected to earn him between $3 million and $4 million, making it a lucrative business move as well. Beck wanted new coaches, teammates, and a fresh challenge, and Miami’s competitive roster and offensive system were attractive for his final year of college eligibility and NFL preparation.
