Miami’s New QB: Can Carson Beck Lead the Hurricanes to Playoff Glory?
Beck’s transfer from Georgia to Miami was one of the most significant decisions in college football this offseason. Beck will replace NFL-bound Cam Ward in Mario Cristobal’s pass-heavy offense.
The 22-year-old quarterback entered the transfer portal in January 2025 following a great tenure at Georgia, where he helped the team win two national championships.
His decision to join Miami was inspired by the possibility of enhancing his draft stock, as well as the enticement of a huge NIL deal worth reportedly $4 million annually.
On Wednesday’s “Always College Football,” ESPN analyst Greg McElroy analyzed why Beck can lead the Hurricanes to the College Football Playoff and predicted a rebound from an awful 2024 season.
“You look at what they have coming back around Beck,” McElroy said. “You look at the offensive line, you have a bunch of guys back, four offensive linemen back from the No. 1 scoring offense in college football. You have a system with the passing that is well suited to what Beck wants to be.”

Miami is focusing on strengthening its offensive line to support Beck. The team’s recruiting efforts are geared at providing Beck with strong protection, allowing him to properly execute plays and confidently lead the Hurricanes’ attack.
Miami’s 2025 schedule is daunting, with matchups against Notre Dame, Florida, and SMU. These high-stakes contests will put the team’s endurance and unity to the test. The season opener against Notre Dame is highly anticipated since it could set the tone for Miami’s playoff chances.
