“Followed his girlfriend”: CFB fans react to Carson Beck’s Miami move as former Georgia QB joins Hanna Cavinder’s college

On Thursday, Carson Beck shocked the college football world as he announced his decision to opt out of the 2025 NFL draft and enter the transfer portal. It didn't take the former Georgia Bulldogs starting quarterback long to find a new home, as he committed to play for the Miami Hurricanes in the 2025 college football season.

Beck's announcement elicited a bunch of reactions as a college football fan said:

A fan said, "big move for carson beck, could shake things up for miami this season."

Another added, "Good spot for him!!"

However, not all reactions were as positive:

A fan said, "Miami develop a QB challenge."

Another added, "They will still be terrible."

Beck's girlfriend, Hanna Cavinder, is a social media influencer and basketball player for the Miami Hurricanes. She's averaging 7.7 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3.9 assists in the 2024/25 season. The Hurricanes are 11-4 for the campaign.

What does Carson Beck bring to the Miami Hurricanes?

Carson Beck joins the Miami Hurricanes after spending the last four seasons with the Georgia Bulldogs. Beck won two national championships with the Bulldogs as a backup to Stetson Bennett, and he guided them to the expanded College Football Playoff in 2025.

Beck brings experience to a talented Miami Hurricanes side that is devoid of players who have tasted national championship glory. Beck has been an integral part of the Bulldogs for the past two seasons and thrived at times in Kirby Smart's system.

Beck ended the 2024 season with 3,485 passing yards, 28 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. His 80.9 QBR was the eighth-best in the country.

Why did Carson Beck choose Miami?

Beck joins a Miami Hurricanes side stacked with talent. The Hurricanes ended the 2024 season with a 10-3 record and might have won a Bowl Game had Cam Ward not elected to sit out of the second half.

Hence, Beck will join a high-powered offense that could unlock his potential as an elite collegiate quarterback. This could do wonders for his stock in the 2026 NFL draft.

Furthermore, the former Georgia standout will be able to prove his ability to thrive in a different system. He has been at Georgia throughout his collegiate football career, and a change of scenery might be all he needs to enter the next level.
