Have you heard the latest update about Carson Beck transfer portal buzz? I mean, this guy’s had quite the rollercoaster of a season. It all started off pretty rough for him. Back in early November, he set a record for throwing, like, the most interceptions in a single game. Ouch! You can imagine the internet trolls were all over that, right? But instead of letting it get to him, Beck just kept a smile on his face and somehow managed to turn things around a bit later on. I thought, “Wow, what a comeback!” But then—bam!—he suffered this major UCL injury during the SEC Championship game against the Texas Longhorns, which kind of felt like the universe was tapping him on the shoulder and saying, “Hey, maybe this is it for you at Georgia.”
So, after a lot of back and forth, he made the big decision to go pro in the NFL. He announced it all dramatic-like on social media just a week after having elbow surgery. I mean, talk about timing, Some people are really skeptical about his choice, though. Todd McShay, the analyst, was like, “He could’ve played another year, but instead he’s diving into the deep end.”And you know how critics can be, right? He’s not the only one who thinks it might be a hasty move for Beck.
On one hand, Beck can definitely throw the ball deep and hits targets with impressive accuracy when he’s in the pocket. But with a shaky season like he had, combined with that nasty injury, his draft stock isn’t looking too hot. The latest mock drafts weren’t even placing him in the first round alongside some other big names. Crazy, right?
And then there’s McShay again, texting around to scouts to get their take, and one guy was like, “Foolish.” While he acknowledges Beck showed some promise late in the season, he just didn’t hit the expected level for most of the year.
The worst part? Beck is going to miss out on Georgia’s CFP run starting this Wednesday while he’s recovering. But there’s a silver lining—he’ll still play a part in the team dynamic, just not in the way he likely envisioned.
Kirby Smart, the Georgia coach, has always supported Beck, even during the rough patches. Now, facing the Sugar Bowl against Notre Dame without him is definitely going to be tough for Smart. But he’s not leaving Beck in the dust completely! He mentioned that Beck would have a role behind the scenes, which I think is pretty cool.
At the end of the day, Beck wrapped up the season with some solid stats: over 3,400 passing yards, 28 touchdowns, and just 12 interceptions. That’s nothing to sneeze at, So, while Redshirt sophomore Gunner Stockton gets ready to step into Beck’s shoes, you can bet he’s feeling a mix of excitement and nerves about it all. Can’t wait to see how that plays out
