ESPN has named Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Carson Beck as the leading Heisman candidate for the 2024 college football season. Beck, who is expected to be a first-round pick in the 2025 NFL DraftIt’s college football main return passer and will have tons of weapons to go through this fall.
Carson Beck is arguably the best quarterback in the country and is playing on the best team, so he has an excellent chance to win the Heisman. Beck was named as a second team All-SEC selection for its 2023 season.
“The Dawgs are still miffed about the lack of a CFP invite and will enter the fall with Silicon Valley chips on their big old hairy shoulders,” he writes ESPN’s Ryan McGee.
“It’s Beck’s shoulders that will be asked to exact this revenge, having made 14 starts a year ago and lost just once. It’s his fifth season in Athens and if he can improve even slightly on his numbers – 3,941 yards, 24 TDs, 6 INTs, 72% completion – from a year ago on a CFP team, it will be impossible to keep him out of New York in December .
Carson Beck and Georgia will have countless opportunities to prove themselves on the national stage. Georgia has four games already scheduled televised by ABC. Additionally, Georgia has road games against three potential top-five teams in Alabama, Texas and Ole Miss. This fall can’t come soon enough!
