Carson Beck was recognized as one of the top five anticipated quarterbacks in college football in an article released by 247Sports earlier this week.
Brad Crawford from 247Sports positioned Carson Beck at fifth in his “Projecting college football’s top 10 quarterbacks for the 2025 season.” Beck moved to Miami earlier this month following two seasons as the starting quarterback at Georgia. Beck greatly enhances the forecasts for Miami in 2025.
Miami offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson greatly assisted Cam Ward in enhancing his 2025 NFL Draft stock throughout his single season with Miami in 2024. Beck will be optimistic that Dawson can assist him in enhancing his 2026 NFL Draft prospects in the 2025 season at Miami. Beck experienced an uneven 2024 season with Georgia.
In the initial three games of the 2024 season, Becker passed for seven touchdowns without any interceptions. Beck guided Georgia from a 28-0 first half disadvantage, passing for 439 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions during a 41-34 defeat at Alabama in September.
A week later at Auburn, Beck passed for 240 yards and two touchdowns. In the four matches that followed Auburn, Beck recorded two games with fewer than 200 yards passing, achieving five touchdown throws and nine interceptions. Beck concluded the 2024 season with 11 touchdowns and zero interceptions over the last four games before sustaining a season-ending UCL injury during the SEC Championship Game.
Few players in college football have as much to demonstrate next season as Carson Beck, who transferred from Georgia to Miami this cycle instead of pursuing the 2025 NFL Draft…Last year, Cam Ward made a similar transition and earned Heisman finalist recognition with the Hurricanes…Beck no longer suited the Bulldogs’ pro-style system, which affected his confidence in 2024. In Miami, he will have the opportunity to become one of the leading passers in the ACC.
Departing from Georgia, the premier program in the nation this decade, to Miami, which is just beginning to rise under Mario Cristobal. According to Crawford, Beck will need to demonstrate a great deal in 2025. Beck needs to strengthen the defense to assist Miami in achieving victory in 2025.
The unsteady defense ultimately deprived Miami of an opportunity to reach the College Football Playoff. Ward frequently received requests to support Miami. Anticipate Miami to field a more evenly matched team in 2025. Beck has participated in many significant matches with Georgia, and his leadership will benefit Miami in 2025.
Should Beck meet Crawford’s projections, he is likely to become a Heisman Trophy Finalist in 2026. Crawford’s projections for Beck in 2025 include 3,788 yards and 31 TDs, which would rank second for a single season in the history of the Miami program, behind Ward. Beck and Ward are distinct quarterbacks.
Beck is less agile than Ward and generates fewer significant plays. Ward shared the top spot nationally in 2024 with Mississippi QB, achieving 74 completions of 20 yards or more. Beck placed 10th, achieving 54 completions of 20 yards or more. In 2024, Miami ranked third in the nation for passing yards per game, while Georgia held the 12th spot.
Beck is tied for 10th place with Florida QB D.J. Lagway at plus 2,000 in the FanDuel odds for the 2025 Heisman Trophy. Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, ranked fourth at plus 1,200, is the sole non-QB with higher odds than Beck. Beck has an excellent chance for significant achievements with Miami in 2025.
