As the best quarterback available, Carson Beck is leaving Georgia and heading to the transfer portal, where he may soon become the highest-paid transfer in college football history. The Bulldogs starter was reportedly going to transfer, possibly with a destination already in mind, according to many publications on January 9. Although Beck was regarded as one of the best quarterbacks available in the 2025 NFL draft, his season was cut short by injuries sustained during the SEC championship game. Beck’s future was unclear at the moment, and Georgia’s season ended with a College Football Playoff loss to Notre Dame.
The quarterback has until February 7 to withdraw his original declaration of eligibility for the NFL draft. Beck is anticipated to receive a substantial salary from his next location as he gets ready for the upcoming college football season. “Carson Beck is now in recovery and training mode, preparing for the 2025 season,” On3’s Pete Nakos had stated. “One of the highest-paid transfers in college football history is anticipated to be him. With one year of eligibility left, the Jacksonville native is anticipated to consider a few quarterback-needy teams as potential destinations.
Beck’s decision might have been influenced by his uncertain NFL future. NFL scouts were cautious of the Georgia quarterback, according to Jordan Reid of ESPN. One scout expressed surprise that Beck had initially declared his eligibility for the draft. “Speaking to evaluators in the league, Beck’s draft grades were all over the place, as some thought he would go in Round 2, while others thought he could go as low as Round 5,” said Reid.
