Carson Beck, the former Georgia Bulldogs quarterback, transferred to the University of Miami after sustaining a UCL injury in his right elbow during the SEC Championship Game. This injury required surgery in mid-December 2024. Despite his limited physical participation in spring practices, Beck has been actively engaging with his new teammates and coaching staff. Head coach Mario Cristobal noted Beck’s commitment, stating that he “will do it all except sling the ball” and will be “standing behind the quarterbacks on every rep,” effectively participating in a virtual capacity.
Beck’s proactive approach extends beyond the field. He has organized team-building activities, such as hosting teammates for the Super Bowl, which has fostered camaraderie and earned him praise from fellow players. Running back Mark Fletcher Jr. expressed his approval, saying, “That’s my boy.” These efforts have helped Beck integrate smoothly into the Hurricanes’ community, even as he continues his recovery.
As of late February 2025, Beck was observed without the brace or sling on his throwing arm, indicating progress in his rehabilitation. Coach Cristobal remains optimistic about Beck’s recovery timeline, mentioning that he is “very close” to resuming throwing and expects him to be fully ready by the start of the season.
In summary, despite his current inability to participate fully in physical drills, Carson Beck’s leadership and dedication have made a positive impact on the Miami Hurricanes. His active involvement in team activities and anticipated return to full health bode well for the upcoming season.
