It really pays to stay in college football for Carson Beck. Plus he no longer has to be long distance with his girlfriend Hanna Cavinder.

The former Georgia Bulldogs quarterback, who won two national championships as a backup, saw his NFL draft stock plummet this season, so instead of going pro, he took his talents to South Beach to the Miami Hurricanes for a reportedly cool $4 million for one season, which is equivalent to a mid-round first-round pick’s salary in the NFL.

Beck’s Miami football transfer gets gf Hanna Cavinder giddy with her comments

The 23 year old was most likely influenced by his influencer girlfriend Hanna Cavinder, part of the Cavinder twins duo with her sister Haley that play basketball for the “U” and are also Sports Illustrated Swimsuit models, not to mention social media stars.

The Cavinder twins rose to fame with their TikTok dance routines, and Beck made a guest appearance with his girlfriend, also 23, to do a “U” dance. You can judge for yourself.

Hanna Cavinder’s tiny custom Carson Beck Georgia crop top is jaw-dropping

Cavinder flexes her abs in a tiny black crop top and a zip-up sweatshirt with matching sweatpants. Beck is even more casual in a black T-shirt and gray sweatpants, and naturally Hanna leads the couples’ “U” routine.

The joke amongst college football fans is that Beck’s career took a downturn when he started dating Hanna, and one of the most popular comments on the ESPN Instagram post had the zinger, “Miami fans I’m sorry.”

No matter what the haters say, Beck and Cavinder look extremely happy, and based on his NFL draft stock, it was a no brainer.

Lionel Messi is getting another preseason tour with Inter Miami, this one a five-match trip that will see the reigning MLS Supporters’ Shield winners playing in four different countries as it tunes up for the 2025 season.

Announced Friday were three matches in South America and Central America. Inter Miami opens that swing with a game against Peruvian champion Club Universitario de Deportes in Lima on Jan. 29.

From there, the club goes to Panama City to take on Sporting San Miguelito on Feb. 2, followed by a trip to San Pedro Sula, Honduras, for a Feb. 8 match against Club Deportivo Olimpia.

The first and last preseason matches were already known: Inter Miami will play Mexican power Club America in Las Vegas on Jan. 18 and close the exhibition slate in Tampa, Florida, against MLS rival Orlando City on Feb. 14.

“We’re very excited to unveil the five matches against domestic and international opponents across the Americas that will prepare us for a highly anticipated 2025,” Inter Miami president of football operations Raul Sanllehi said. “These fixtures will put us in the best possible position ahead of an unparalleled campaign with various competitions we’re playing for this year — the FIFA Club World Cup, CONCACAF Champions Cup, Leagues Cup and MLS.”

With 34 regular season MLS matches, five preseason games and the three cup tournaments, Inter Miami could easily exceed 50 matches this season — and probably will play even more than that. And that doesn’t even count international matches for Messi and likely several other Inter Miami players.

This year’s preseason tour isn’t quite as ambitious as the one Inter Miami planned last year, with matches in Dallas, El Salvador, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong and Japan on that schedule. Much of that trip didn’t go as envisioned: A Messi vs. Cristiano Ronaldo matchup in Saudi Arabia didn’t happen because Ronaldo was sidelined by injury, and fans in Asia were angered by Messi missing one match there and playing sparingly in another. Some refunds were even issued to help appease disappointed ticket-holders, some of whom spent more than $600 with hopes of seeing Messi play.

Inter Miami’s training camp starts with physicals on Saturday. The first practice under new coach Javier Mascherano is Monday.

Former Miami and Louisville running back Don Chaney Jr. will transfer to Charlotte, as first reported by Pete Nakos of On3 Sports.

A former four-star recruit, Chaney began his career with Miami in 2020 and rushed for 322 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 68 carries, but suffered season-ending injuries in 2021 and 2022.

The 5-foot-10, 208-pounder bounced back to finish third on Miami’s roster in rushing yards in 2023, rushing for 478 yards and two touchdowns before transferring to Louisville following the season.

Chaney never found his footing with Jeff Brohm’s club, being used primarily as a reserve this past year. He rushed for 178 yards on 50 carries with three touchdowns and hauled in seven receptions for 62 yards.

For his career, the Miami native has rushed for 1,030 yards and nine touchdowns.

First-year Charlotte head coach Tim Albin takes over the 49ers’ program after former head coach Biff Poggi was relieved of his duties following a two-year stint in the Queen City that saw Poggi amass a 6-16 record with the team.
