Miami was considered Beck’s favorite landing spot, and his signing Friday solidifies that move.

In Miami, he will join a football program that recently lost its starter – Cam Ward – and an athletic program that already features his girlfriend Hanna Cavinder, a guard on the Hurricanes’ basketball team.

“It’s a great day to be a Miami Hurricane,” Cavinder wrote on X on Friday.

A great day at the end of what was clearly a whirlwind.

Nonetheless, Miami is a great fit — and for reasons that go far beyond college romance.

Mario Cristobal and the Canes have a gaping Ward-sized hole, and their 2024 starter — the NCAA Division I all-time leader in touchdown passes — is expected to land at or near the top of the upcoming NFL Draft.

Ward is a special talent, and there is no one in the transfer portal who will be able to bring everything he has to offer to Miami’s offense.

But in Beck — with 7,912 yards and 58 touchdowns to his name and a career record of 23-3 as a starter — the Hurricanes have landed a proven arm and winner.

Assuming, of course, that he comes back healthy.

Beck injured his throwing arm on the final play of Georgia’s SEC championship win over Texas on Dec. 7 and did not play in the Bulldogs’ loss to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the CFP quarterfinal game in the Allstate Sugar Bowl.

He underwent arm surgery at the end of December.

Because of the injury, Beck was told he wouldn’t be able to throw again until March.

And after declaring for the draft, he reportedly received feedback that the uncertainty caused by that injury would hurt his stock.

The 2025 season will be Beck’s final year of eligibility.
