After a rough 2024 season with the Bulldogs and Carson Beck’s move from Georgia to Miami, plenty of folks were surprised to see Pro Football Focus slot him as the No. 3 quarterback for 2025.
However, the analysts do not back down on him; they see Beck as a player who could turn things around and maybe even lead Miami to a national title. With Cam Ward gone, the Hurricanes need a new signal-caller to keep their championship hopes alive, and Beck’s landing in Coral Gables has everyone wondering if he’s the answer.
Top 10 QBs for 2025 Features Carson Beck at No. 3 — Despite His Tough 2024 Season at Georgia
The PFF analyst knows Beck’s No. 3 ranking might raise some eyebrows. “And I think some people who are watching right now might turn this video off when I say this guy’s number three, but I want you to hear me out,” he said in his recent breakdown. Seriously, he gets it. Beck’s 2024 season wasn’t pretty. Beck rolled into last year as the top QB in the country, fresh off two stellar seasons in Georgia.
Over the past two years, he’s racked up a 90.9 overall grade, second only to one other returning QB. So, what went wrong in 2024? For one, Georgia’s receivers didn’t do him any favors, dropping 31 passes, which tied for the second most in college football.
That inconsistency can fail any QB’s stats, and Beck felt the heat. Still, the analyst isn’t fazed. “Over the last two years, Beck has had a 90.9 overall grade. Second best of any quarterback returning to college football right now,” he pointed out. That’s why he’s betting on Beck to bounce back at Miami, maybe even following Ward’s footsteps with a big turnaround.
Can Beck Push Miami Over the Top in 2025?
Miami’s been knocking on the door of a national title for a while now, and with Ward gone, Beck’s the guy they’re turning to. The Hurricanes have the talent, Fletcher’s a beast in the backfield, the receivers can stretch the field, and the defense can shut teams down. But it all depends on Beck. If he can shake off last year’s struggles and play like he did in his first two seasons, Miami’s got a real shot.
“I still think Carson Beck is one of the top quarterbacks in college football,” the analyst said. “I understand this past year is not very pretty. He’s still a very good quarterback in college football”.

If he can return to his old form, he could take the Hurricanes and put himself in the conversation as a top NFL draft pick. A big season in 2025 could erase the memory of 2024 and cement his status as one of the best in the game. But if he stumbles, it’s a hit to both his stock and Miami’s title dreams.
