When Carson Beck entered the transfer portal last week, many speculated that his departure from Georgia was due to a lack of opportunity. But according to USA Today’s Matt Hayes, Georgia was the first to call, desperately trying to bring him back. Alabama reportedly followed suit as the second team to reach out, making things even more intriguing.
Despite the interest from both powerhouses, Beck made his choice quickly, committing to Miami just 48 hours after entering the portal. But Alabama’s head coach Kalen DeBoer wasn’t backing down without a fight. He reportedly wanted Beck to join Tuscaloosa and compete with Ty Simpson and freshman Keelon Russell for the starting job.
The revelation set the internet ablaze with reactions. Fans of Alabama were quick to respond with skepticism, with one fan claiming, “There’s zero chance Alabama reached out to Beck. We have three quarterbacks better than him.”
Another fan commented, “Breaking news: Alabama has three backup QBs better than Carson Beck. This report is totally bogus!” And one pointed out, “Fun fact: Beck was originally committed to Alabama!”
Beck ultimately chose to follow his girlfriend, Hanna Cavinder, to Miami, where she plays for the Hurricanes’ women’s basketball team. Despite the criticism, Beck led Georgia to an SEC title game, throwing for nearly 3,500 yards and 28 touchdowns in the process.
Now, with Beck at the helm, Miami is set to be an explosive team heading into 2025. The drama surrounding his decision has only added to the buzz surrounding the Hurricanes’ future.
