The Miami Hurricanes won the Carson Beck "sweepstakes" but shockingly, there were other programs that wanted the star quarterback. USA Today Network's Matt Hayes reported on Wednesday that Georgia wanted the former quarterback to return to the Bulldogs after he entered the transfer portal and that Alabama was next in line in line for the call.

The Hurricanes aren’t totally sure of that timing. But they are thrilled to have landed Beck, who committed to Miami last week in a massive transfer-portal win for the Hurricanes — who saw another transfer, Cam Ward, have a 2024 season that could make him the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft.

Former University of Georgia quarterback Carson Beck surprised many fans on Friday when he confirmed his transfer to the University of Miami instead of going to the NFL Draft.
