Beck’s Performance: A Closer Look
Beck’s first two years at UGA were spectacular. At worst, he was a top-five quarterback in the nation. He passed for 7,912 yards and 58 touchdowns. This season, he threw 28 touchdowns and 12 interceptions while amassing 3,485 yards and three interceptions in three games.
Former Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel backed Beck’s decision to transfer. According to Manziel, Beck’s move to the Hurricanes allows him to rebuild his draft value while also capitalizing on Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) potential.
The Hurricanes will have one of the best offensive lines in the country, so he won’t have to worry about being touched and can focus on sharing the ball.
