Beck is expected to visit Miami this weekend, and his commitment comes within 24 hours of his surprise decision to enter the NCAA transfer portal on Thursday. After declaring for the NFL Draft on Dec. 28, Beck will instead join Miami for his final season of eligibility.

Beck, a two-year starter for the Bulldogs with a 24-3 career record, will succeed Heisman Trophy finalist Cam Ward and attempt to lead Miami into the College Football Playoff after the Hurricanes came up short in 2024.

The 6-foot-4, 220-pound redshirt senior is currently recovering from a season-ending elbow injury, a setback that forced him to reconsider his plans to go pro. Per sources, he's unlikely to be healthy enough for spring practice at Miami because of the recovery from the injury.

Beck became the No. 2 player in ESPN's transfer rankings and a significant recruiting win for coach Mario Cristobal and a Hurricanes team that lacked a proven quarterback entering 2025.

Beck underwent surgery on Dec. 23 to repair the ulnar collateral ligament in his throwing elbow after injuring it on the final play of the first half in Georgia's SEC championship victory over Texas on Dec. 7.

Beck will not be able to throw until March, sources told ESPN, and he received feedback that he could be selected anywhere between the first and third round, with much of that uncertainty due to the fact he wouldn't be able to throw for teams in pre-draft workouts. Based on the feedback and advice he received, Beck changed his mind and entered the portal as a graduate transfer.
