JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Georgia quarterback Carson Beck has officially announced he will forego his last year of college eligibility and declare for the 2025 NFL Draft.
He announced his plans in a social media post on Saturday that read in part: “To Coach Smart, Coach Bobo and the rest of the Coaches who were apart of my tenure at UGA, thank you for your wisdom, your unwavering support, and most importantly the time that you’ve sacrificed pouring into not only me, but the many others who came before and after,” Beck said. “Thank you for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to lead this team. It’s been a blessing and I’m forever grateful.”

Beck had surgery earlier this week on his right elbow to repair his ulnar collateral ligament (UCL). He’s expected to make a full recovery and start throwing in the spring. Beck was injured in the last play of the first half during the Bulldogs’ SEC Championship win against Texas.
Over the past two seasons as the starting quarterback, Beck threw for 7,426 yards and 52 touchdowns completing 68% of his passes. He also threw 18 interceptions with 12 thrown this season.
Beck grew up in Jacksonville and won a state championship with the Mandarin Mustangs in 2018.
