When former Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Carson Beck was asked about his time at Georgia during the ACC media days, a smile appeared on his face. Beck appeared gratuitous towards his time at Georgia, despite him transferring to the Miami Hurricanes.
At first, he starts with a reflection to the SEC media days in 2024. “We go back 365 days we were sitting at the SEC media days with all these expectations,” Beck said. “It’s crazy, there’s twists and turns you can’t foresee.”
Georgia fans definitely couldn’t have predicted the twists and turns that occurred in 2024. About a year ago, he was projected to be one of the best quarterbacks in the count and was among the favorites to win the Heisman and earn the No. 1 overall selection in the 2025 NFL draft.
Even through Beck didn’t live up to those expectation, he still had a landmark career at Georgia, bringing the Bulldogs to a 24-3 record and winning winning two national championships as a backup. Beck’s final game featured one-armed snap and handoff to Trevor Etienne for the game-winning touchdown in the SEC championship against Texas after Beck had suffered a serious elbow injury.
Beck still remembers his time with Georgia fondly.
Georgia will always be family to me, you grind with those guys,” Beck said. “I came in as an 18-year-old kid, I was a child with no idea of what was ahead. You build relationships that will last a lifetime, you work your tail off.”
“I wouldn’t be the person or player I am today without Georgia, and I’ll always be a Bulldog, I am very appreciative of my time there,” Beck said.
