Carson Beck’s time as a starting quarterback in College Football hasn’t yielded much in terms of hardware. However, there is one title he held during his stint with Georgia: the most polarizing man in Athens. Beck has his proponents and his cynics alike, although the latter faction is a bit more sizeable. As he brings over his baggage and his skill to Coral Gables and the Miami Hurricanes, he wants to set the record straight on a couple of things.
Carson Beck’s LeBron James impression of taking his talents to South Beach hasn’t been going all that well. His transition to the Sunshine State has been rather gloomy and far from seamless. First off, he arrived in Miami rehabbing from injury and couldn’t be a full participant in spring camp. Simultaneously, he got his car stolen and even broke up with his long-time girlfriend Hanna Cavinder. When it rains, it really does pour. All of this has fanned the flames of a prevailing sentiment around Beck. A negativity which, quite frankly, is a bit unwarranted and based on a borderline fallacious perception of him.
View Carson Beck, the quarterback, in a vacuum. No matter your subjective opinions, he’s better than about 90% of his contemporaries at the collegiate level. Conceded, he’s had a decline. But zoom out and you’d realize it wasn’t all his doing. Georgia’s receiving corps. had the highest drop rate in FBS last season. Losing 2 first-round caliber weapons in Brock Bowers and Ladd McConkey didn’t help Carson Beck whatsoever. Kirby Smart didn’t have much in terms of a supporting cast around Beck to alleviate the scrutiny, including a relatively weaker O-line.
The discourse around him has been muddled and it’s almost as if the masses revel in undermining Beck. Something he realizes and addressed on the Built 4 More podcast. As he begins a new chapter with the Canes, Carson Beck has a message for his new fans: Block out prejudicial, pre-existing noise and offer him a clean slate to impress and show what he’s truly about.
“What would you tell Miami fans? What are they getting?” asked the podcast host. This spawned a bit of an emotional response from Carson Beck. “Man, I think there’s a lot to me that people misconceive or don’t know. I feel like I’m a very misunderstood person at the end of the day. There’s a lot of stuff out there that people either have made up or shown or said,” he remarked. Not only has there been conjecture around his game, but it has also seeped into his private life. Sure, being in a public relationship does open you up to scrutiny when things spiral. But Carson Beck hasn’t had the benefit of the doubt in any aspect on or off the field, really. He proceeded to speak directly to Miami fans about what they should expect.

“I’m a ferocious worker. I’m a hard worker. I will exhaust myself until I have nothing left, and I’ve done that my whole life. I have dreams and aspirations to do big things and lead people and serve others,” said Carson Beck. He also spoke about wanting “to see other people succeed more than, honestly, myself. Obviously, I want to succeed. But like, when I play for other people and serve others, it makes my job a lot easier, honestly.” Beck even proclaimed to play poorly when he becomes “selfish” and loses sight of serving the collective, the bigger picture. He spoke about wanting to portray the Miami fans through his actions and become a vessel of positivity for the U.
“I just try to make the guys around me better players, not only better players, but better people,” he added. During the same podcast, Beck also delved into his recovery from the aforementioned injury.
Carson Beck sheds light on the reason he had to surgically repair his injured elbow
An attempt at a “Hail Mary” on the brink of HT in the SEC Championship game became a “Jesus, no” moment for Carson Beck. Texas’ pass rush got to him and the resultant sack caused a dire ligament injury in his right elbow. Beck did come out for one down late on in the second half as Georgia OC Mike Bobo ran a trick play and used him as a smokescreen. But he hadn’t thrown since, and only recently got cleared right at the end of spring practice. Beck spoke about the build-up to the surgery and its mental toll,
“You’ve got to get back into the extension and the range of motion before you can get the surgery. Otherwise, you run the risk of never being able to get the range of motion,” remarked Beck. It really puts into perspective how one down can alter a career in this sport. The procedure he underwent was to repair structural damage in his elbow, which affected his ability to grip the football. So throwing is secondary; Beck couldn’t even hold the pigskin to begin with. “The day before the surgery, [the doctor] tells us we can’t get the surgery. So then it’s like, ‘Oh my gosh, like what are we going to do? Do we wait?’ So then 4 days out in LA, [I underwent] aggressive aggressive rehab,” he added.
Carson Beck seeing a specialist out on the Pacific Coast and being away from Athens, allegedly against Georgia’s wishes, was rumored to have severed ties between the two. Alas, it seems like Beck has made a full recovery now. He’d hope to show his true self and rediscover some of that 2023 form for the Canes and Mario Cristobal.
