Going into the year, Beck was listed as a potential Heisman candidate. However, his bid quickly fell apart with Miami’s hopes of reaching the playoffs. According to PFSN’s College Football QB impact ratings, the Miami Hurricanes’ quarterback has been ranked 68th in the nation this year.
Beck also scored with a 14-yard touchdown on a pass from wide receiver Malachi Toney. Following his performance today, the Miami quarterback has silenced some criticisms that were aimed at him last week after he took a shot at the Hurricanes’ coaching staff.
“They ran the same play the entire time. I just execute the way the play is called.” Beck told the media after throwing two interceptions during the loss to SMU last weekend. The Miami quarterback is preparing to enter the 2026 NFL Draft.
“Carson Beck started the season hot behind a very good Miami offensive line, but the Louisville game serves as a reminder that many NFL teams do not see him as a starting-caliber QB prospect right now.” An ESPN report from earlier in the year read.
According to reports, the decision to sign Beck from Georgia cost Miami between $4 million and $ 6 million. However, a recent statement from College football analyst Mark Ingram reveals that the Hurricanes’ decision could have cost them even more.
They said it was anywhere from $4 to $ 6 million to go to Miami. And then they said, in the last 12 months, he has accumulated close to $10 million, that’s what they said.” Ingram stated.
With games against NC State, Pittsburgh, and Virginia Tech coming up, Beck has just three games left in his College football career to attempt to boost his NFL draft stock. However, his performance and comments after the loss against SMU could have seen him take a significant hit.
