ACC Media Days: Carson Beck Explains Why He Left Georgia For Miami

ACC Media Days: Carson Beck Explains Why He Left Georgia For Miami

Miami Herald18 hours ago
Carson Beck didn't leave Georgia because of drama. He left because he felt it was simply time.Speaking at ACC Football Kickoff on Tuesday, the new Miami quarterback gave his most direct answer yet about why he transferred out of Athens after two seasons leading one of college football's most dominant programs.
"Everything has a shelf life, and I think the shelf life there [at Georgia] was over, and it was just time to start something new, to get into a new program, to start a new chapter of my life, my career," Beck told ESPN.After guiding Georgia to a national title appearance in 2023 and posting strong numbers in 2024, Beck had no shortage of options. But he said his choice came down to football fit - and future opportunity.
"I think the biggest thing for me, obviously, was the offensive fit," Beck said. "As a quarterback, the OC, the scheme, the talent and guys that you're going to have around you is huge to the success and ultimately, the future not just as a quarterback, but of me. This is my future and I think this decision is one of the better decisions I've made."
Beck's production speaks for itself. In 2023, he completed 72.4% of his passes for 3,941 yards, 24 touchdowns, and only six interceptions. His 2024 season was more of a rollercoaster - 64.7% completion, 3,485 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 12 picks - but still good enough to make him one of the top signal-callers on the market.Now, he'll try to elevate the Hurricanes and reshape his legacy - starting in Week 1 against Notre Dame.

Tua Tagovailoa on Tyreek Hill's relationship with team after trade comments: 'He is working on himself'

Tua Tagovailoa claimed Miami Dolphins teammate and wide receiver Tyreek Hill is rebuilding his relationship with the quarterback and the rest of the team after his "I'm out" comments at the end of last season. Speaking to media members from training camp Wednesday morning, Tagovailoa provided some insight about where he and the team stand with their star receiver. 'When you say something like that, you don't just come back with, 'My bad.' You gotta work that relationship up. He is working on himself," Tagovailoa said. The comments in question came after the Dolphins' campaign ended with a 32-20 loss to a struggling New York Jets team. Following a frustrating season, Hill seemingly threw in the towel, saying, "I'm out." "This is my first time not being in the playoffs," Hill pointed out. "I just gotta do what's best for me and my family. If that's here or wherever the case may be, man. I'm [going to] open that door for myself. I'm out, bro. It was great playing here, but at the end of the day, I gotta do what's best for my career because I'm too much of a competitor to be just out there." [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] The statement came after the Dolphins went 8-9 this past season. As for Hill, his numbers suffered along with the team. After breaking 1,700 receiving yards and reaching the playoffs in back-to-back seasons, Hill posted just 959 yards — his lowest receiving total since 2019, when he totaled 860 yards in just 12 games played. While he hinted at a trade request, Cheetah has returned to Miami for another season. Hill was traded to Miami from Kansas City in 2022 and signed a four-year, $120 million contract. His deal was restructured in 2024 to include $90 million over the three seasons that followed, with $65 million guaranteed over the remainder of his tenure. After his comments, Hill's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, reiterated his commitment to the team, saying, 'What you see with Tyreek is very genuine. "He wants to win. It's not good enough for him not to make the playoffs. He is very passionate. I think at the end of the day, he is committed to this Dolphins football team.' The Dolphins will open their 2025 season on Sept. 7 in Chicago against the Bears.
