As the 2024 college football season draws to a close, speculation is growing about the future of Georgia quarterback Carson Beck. After opting to return to the Bulldogs this season instead of entering the NFL Draft, many believed this would be Beck’s final year in Athens. However, with his draft stock not quite meeting expectations, there’s growing chatter that Beck could return for another season at Georgia.
Beck entered the season with high hopes, seen as a potential first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. But his performance has been somewhat underwhelming, causing his draft stock to drop in recent months. A solid year could have cemented his place among the top quarterbacks available, but that trajectory hasn’t materialized, making the decision more complicated.
Adding to the uncertainty is an injury Beck sustained during Georgia’s SEC Championship victory. Though the injury is still being assessed, if it turns out to be more serious than initially thought, it could impact his draft prospects further, particularly if he’s unable to fully participate in the NFL Combine or Georgia’s Pro Day.
With one more year of eligibility remaining, Beck now faces a tough choice: declare for the 2025 NFL Draft or return to Georgia for another season. By staying, he would have the opportunity to rebuild his draft stock and possibly reclaim his position as a top-tier quarterback prospect.
The decision likely won’t come until after Georgia’s bowl game, but it’s a development that Georgia fans will be watching closely as the new year approaches.
