Georgia star Carson Beck expected to explore transfer portal: report

Just last month, all signs pointed to Carson Beck leaving Georgia for the NFL, but the quarterback’s time in the college football ranks may not be over just yet.

Beck is expected to enter the transfer portal, On3 reported Thursday. A player of Beck’s caliber could attract a lot of interest. If he ultimately transfers to another college football program, Beck is expected to be one of the highest-paid transfers in the history of the sport.

Beck’s latest decision comes less than two weeks after he declared for the 2025 NFL Draft.

He became Georgia’s starting quarterback in 2023 and returned to Athens for the 2024 season before suffering a season-ending elbow injury in Georgia’s overtime win over Texas in the SEC Championship. Gunner Stockton filled in for Beck earlier this month when Georgia lost 23-10 to Notre Dame in the quarterfinals of the College Football Playoff.

Beck was a highly touted prospect coming out of high school and was widely heralded as a first-round pick in the NFL Draft for the 2024 season.

But he had an inconsistent season, finishing with 28 touchdowns to 12 interceptions. While Beck threw for just under 3,500 yards this year, he also threw three interceptions in three different games. When Beck leaves Georgia, he will finish his time in a Bulldogs uniform with 7,912 passing yards and 58 touchdowns.

Beck’s injury would likely prevent him from showcasing his throwing ability in front of NFL teams’ general managers, coaches, scouts and other key decision-makers this spring. The expected inability to complete pre-draft workouts right away in March may have influenced Beck’s decision to explore his options with other college programs through the portal.
