CORAL GABLES, Fla. >> Carson Beck is heading to Miami.

Beck, the now-former Georgia quarterback, has pushed his NFL plans back a year and is committed to play next season at Miami, making the announcement known Friday and becoming another huge transfer portal acquisition for the Hurricanes.

Beck delivered the news on social media with a simple two-word message: “Go Canes,” he wrote, along with an image of himself in a Miami uniform and with “Committed” and “305 Bound” on the photo.

The primary area code for the Miami area is 305.

Before saying anything publicly, Beck signed a grant-in-aid agreement with the Hurricanes, said a person familiar with the situation who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither side revealed that detail.

The move means Beck — who is recovering from elbow surgery performed in December to repair his right ulnar collateral ligament — is presumably taking over as Cam Ward’s replacement as Miami’s starter for the 2025 season. Beck originally declared for the NFL draft, then entered the transfer portal earlier this week and now will wind up at Miami.

Beck is dating Miami women’s basketball guard Hanna Cavinder. Shortly after Beck’s announcement, she posted “It’s a great day to be a miami hurricane” — and the school’s women’s basketball account on X made a cryptic reference to the football news with a post showing what it described as Hanna Cavinder’s top assists this season.

“Welcome to the good life,” Haley Cavinder, Hanna’s twin and Miami women’s teammate, posted on Beck’s Instagram.

Beck spent five seasons at Georgia, the last two as the Bulldogs’ primary starter.

Beck has completed 68% of his passes — 628 of 923 — for 7,912 yards, 58 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in his college career. He appeared in 39 games for Georgia, 27 of them in the last two seasons. The Bulldogs went 24-3 in those 27 games.

Former LSU receiver being investigated >> Former LSU receiver Kyren Lacy is under investigation by Louisiana State Police in connection with a vehicle accident in December that killed a 78-year-old man in Lafourche Parish.

Lacy, who graduated from LSU in December and has declared for the NFL draft, allegedly was driving recklessly — speeding and passing in a no-passing zone — when a motorist who was swerving to avoid Lacy’s Dodge Charger crashed head-on into another vehicle.

Authorities with State Police Troop C in Gray, Louisiana, say the 24-year-old Lacy fled the scene of the accident without his involvement or calling for aid. State Police have obtained an arrest warrant for the former Tigers star for negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run and reckless operation of a vehicle.
