Miami fans will have to wait a while to see quarterback Carson Beck on a football field, but the Hurricanes’ newest transfer is already making his impact felt in the content game.
Beck and girlfriend Hanna Cavinder, a guard on Miami’s basketball team, celebrated his arrival in South Florida in a video she posted to TikTok:
Having spent the last four years at Georgia, Beck was eligible to enter the 2025 NFL draft, and he was generally expected to test the pro waters. He was the No. 37 overall prospect on Bleacher Report’s 2025 big board that was posted on Jan. 2.
Instead, the experienced signal-caller will suit up for Miami next season.
In addition to the fact his girlfriend is already a student there, CBS Sports’ John Talty and Chris Hummer reported Beck is expected to collect $4 million in total NIL money with the transfer.
For some perspective, Caleb Williams has a $795,000 base salary from his rookie deal with the Chicago Bears. As the No. 1 overall pick in 2024, he also received a $25.5 million signing bonus.
The payouts dropped precipitously as you get further down the first round. Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr., who was picked 23rd overall, got a $7.5 million signing bonus.
Getting $4 million to play another year of college ball and potentially improving your draft stock in the process could be a shrewd decision.
Beck had a somewhat underwhelming final year at Georgia. In 13 games, he threw for 3,485 yards, 28 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.
Cam Ward parlayed his one year with Miami into becoming one of the top QBs in the 2025 draft, so maybe Beck could be on a similar trajectory.
