ATHENS, Ga. – Georgia junior quarterback Carson Beck has announced he plans to return for the 2024 season instead of entering the NFL draft.

Georgia announced Beck’s decision on social media. The fourth-year junior will lead the No. 6 Bulldogs against No. 4 Florida State (No. 5 CFP) in the Orange Bowl on Dec. 30. Beck, a Mandarin High School graduate, was the state’s Mr. Football award as a junior when he helped lead the Mustangs to the Class 8A state championship against Miami Columbus.

“My friends and family have helped put me in a situation to have options for my future,” Beck said in Georgia’s social media post. “However, the NFL can wait one more year. I am returning to UGA for my senior season.

“We need everyone’s support in Miami to close this season out the right way!”
