- Miami's $4M quarterback posts rehab video and it raises concerns
- Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward were involved in a major fight before the Draft and now they have been forgotten by the NFL
The Miami Hurricanes have a new quarterback at the helm, as Carson Beck prepares to take over following his high-profile transfer from Georgia. Beck, ranked No. 25 among the Top 100 players in college football for 2025, brings both talent and experience to a Miami program looking to contend for an ACC title and a College Football Playoff berth.
Beck's 2024 season at Georgia showcased his ability to lead an offense, as he threw for 3,400 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions while completing 65% of his es. However, his decision-making came into question after nine of those interceptions occurred in losses to Alabama, Texas, and Florida. Despite those struggles, Beck finished the season strong with an 11-to-0 touchdown-to-interception ratio in his final four games before suffering an elbow injury in the SEC Championship Game.
Following his injury, Beck underwent elbow surgery on his throwing arm, which kept him sidelined during spring practice. The Hurricanes made a bold move to land him in a $4 million NIL deal, securing a player they believe can replace Cam Ward, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Although Beck did not participate in spring drills, he recently resumed throwing footballs and will have summer workouts and fall camp to prepare for the season.
Reasons to believe they have a chance
Miami has built a strong ing cast around Beck, adding key transfers and signees to strengthen both the offense and defense. While talent is in place, Beck's ability to stay healthy and limit turnovers will be the determining factor in Miami's success. The Hurricanes are banking on him to elevate their offense and lead them into championship contention.
Head coach Mario Cristobal has expressed confidence in Beck's recovery, stating that he is "exceeding every benchmark" in rehab. The quarterback's progress has reassured the coaching staff that he will be ready for the season opener. If Beck can perform at the level expected of him, Miami could emerge as a serious threat in the ACC and beyond.
With high expectations, Beck's arrival in Miami marks a fresh start-one that comes with immense responsibility. If he can correct past mistakes and maintain his efficiency, the Hurricanes could be on the verge of a breakout season. But with pressure mounting, the real test begins when he takes the field in Week 1.
