Elite QB Carson Beck explains why he decommitted from Alabama, committed to Georgia
Jacksonville, Florida, native Carson Beck was one of the most sought after QBs of the 2020 recruiting class.
The 6-foot-5 pocket passer committed to Alabama early in the process (for seven months) only to later decommit in February. Following about a month of being uncommitted, Beck then pulled the trigger for the Georgia Bulldogs.
AL.com’s Josh Bean caught up with Beck at the Elite 11 workouts, and he explained why he decommitted from the Tide and later committed to the Bulldogs.
“Every since about eighth grade, I had always wanted to play at Georgia,” Beck told AL.com. “That was kind of like my dream school in a way, and they never offered me early. Obviously, I liked Alabama. Nick Saban, great coach. I respect him, have full respect for him.
“But whenever all the offensive staff started leaving and I was like, ‘I have no one to talk to. I don’t know any of these guys. I really don’t have a relationship with them,’” Beck said. “So, when I de-committed, I still considered Alabama, I wanted to meet the new coaches, and that’s when Georgia came in.
“And I just absolutely fell in love with their coaching staff, and honestly the reason I chose Georgia is I feel like those coaches can develop me to get me where I want to be.”
Once Beck decommitted from Alabama, Florida entered the picture in a big way. The Gators were feeling good about Beck until Georgia offered. Then, Beck committed to UGA following the offer.
Beck threw for nearly 4,000 yards and 39 TDs while leading his high school team (Mandarin) to a state championship last year.
The 4-star pocket passer is rated as the No. 4 overall pro-style QB and the state of Florida’s No. 11 overall prospect for the class of 2020, according to 247Sports Composite Rankings.
Mr Beck knows what the future holds.
The Sun rises in the East.
It sets in the West, which is fitting because that is where your season ends lately.
LMAO…
‘I have no one to talk to.”
What a cuck.
Today’s generation is too feminine to play football.
This guy needs to go join a sewing circle and leave Georgia football alone.
I don’t care if you have anyone to talk to or not… Most Vos fans are lonely these days..
LOL that’s pretty good
Ouch l! That hurt. But as hard as it is for me to admit, it is true.
Good one, LSUSMC!
Thanks guys. Just having a little fun.
Now that was funny…well played LSUSMC!
Just as it should be salty corn-dogs.
As has your season Marine.
I wasn’t really sure where the sting on was suppose to come from on that come-back considering bama and others in the West have owned lsu for a while now????
Another moronic comment. Bama owns LSU. No one else in the West is close. Maybe I should run around typing 36-16 like you do in relation to UF. Nah, not my style. The good UGA posters took my comment as intended, a light hearted jab. You got offended. That’s just funny.
it was actually 37-16
36-17
lsu
Good retort. Allow me to add “1980” to your post, might as well get that bard in while you can.
Alabama has had UGA’s number since 2012 (actually since 2008), no argument there. But at least Bama is having to come from behind to beat UGA since Kirby’s arrival. Sooner or later UGA beats bama with Kirby at the helm; I wouldn’t make that statement if RIcht were still the coach. So from that perspective the sun is rising is for UGA fans.
Speaking of being owned by bama, when was the last SECCG game for lsu? Seems like it was a decade ago, has it been that long?
I’m not one of the 1980 critics. LSU’s last CCG was 2011, and we won that one. UGA lost three games last year and all were west of y’all. I didn’t mention Bama in my post. Are you one of those whose team lost to LSU so you need to bring Bama into the picture? Nice one.
Now we are referencing Texas. Although the sun does literally rise in the east and set in the west, I was being metaphorical, sorry that was lost on your part.
“Are you one of those who lost to lsu last season so …” I guess I could referenced UF since they beat lsu last season but who cares, it was the battle of the 2nd’s.
Anywho, hopefully lsu makes the SECW in 2019 and we get to talk smack over that game.
LSU beat UGA 36-16 and finished higher than them in the polls. UGA s claim to fame over LSU is nothing. You guys are always great in the preseason though. That’s your claim to fame. Good for you. My apologies to the good UGA fans here.
LMAO… LSUSMC owning thedoucheofwar….
walked right into that one wardawg.
Now that’s funny right there, I don’t care who you are! I am forced to use my last retort…oh yeah?
Most kids are very mercurial at this point in their lives. They can change on a dime.
Well, it sets in the West and that seems to be where your season normally ends.
Sorry for the duplicate post.
It’s OK, it bears repeating
36-17 chump
I personally think the reason Alabama has an eight game winning straight streak, is due to traditions and facilities.
I heard that that plays a MAJOR factor in the success of the programs.
See Vanderbilt baseball for the perfect example. The seating is 3,700 at Hawkins Field in Nashville, one of the smallest in the SEC.
One of the most revered member of SDS said facilities and traditions are the factor that develop successful athletic programs.
Yea, see Vanderbilt for proof.
What this means is that it wasn’t enough that Saban wanted Beck, Kirb waited until Mullen offered and then decided to offer himself. Kirby late to the party since Beck wanted to go to Georgia from day one, actually since 8th grade.
If Kirby wants the kid and the kid has signed to play at UGA, Kirby ain’t late to anything.
Has he signed?
bamaturd
has anybody signed???? wow, you got him there
you’re leaking again
Who knows… It seems UGA fans love to act as if a commit is a guarantee.. We know that if he goes elsewhere though runnerupU didn’t want him…
So if Kirby was late to the party, does that mean that Dan’s invitation never actually arrived?
So crackhead,
Let’s sum up your post.
Beck decommitted from bama because of a “late” offer from UGA. And although home-state florida offered before Georgia did, Beck still committed to UGA.
And you point was to raze UGA fans because Kirby was “late to the game” in UGA’s recruitment of Beck EVEN THOUGH Kirby beat out GOAT HC Saban and UF HC mullet for Beck’s verbal????
Okie dokie
No need to get snarky lil pup but Beck has been waiting since the 8th grade to have an offer from Georgia and still he had to wait for Mullen to offer in order to get Kirb interested. Most of us didn’t understand why Mullen would go after a pocket pro style passer since that’s not our offense. Beck fits a lot better in UGAs offense. So you’re welcome.
Guess who played the ‘MORON’ card?
Only this time he used moronic.
And the BamaTime, the Official Troll Police, is stuck to him like glue.
Seven T is a little late showing up, but I’m sure he’ll be here.
Proudly saying Alabama ‘owns’ his school, he wants to take on Georgia.
Yep, if there’s a post, its LSUABC patriotic duty to comment.
And where would he be with out his trademark MORON, now moronic, comment?
I believe Georgia and Florida will be quite fine, and finish higher than LSU in the final standings.
I haven’t seen a fan of either saying their school is ‘owned’ by anyone.
And I can’t wait to hear how LSU owns Florida.
In the last 20 years they are 10-10.
In the last three Florida is 2-1.
Kentucky owns Florida too!
We beat them for the first time in 32 years.
I doubt the Gators will come to Pigg-, sorry, Kroger this year for fear of embarrassment.
Moron.
And that is your best ‘comeback’?
You need to get BamaTime and SevenT to give you some lessons.
I bet LSU builds a 200,000 seat stadium so they can beat Alabama sometime.
More proof. Thinking isn’t your strong suit by any means. I have never seen a positive comment about you on this site. Your stupidity proceeds you in all comments. You do try awful hard though. Then again, with all that effort, one would think at least one decent comment would come out of you. Even blind squirrels laugh at you.
LSUMC… He is so stupid he doesn’t understand why everyone calls him out or ignores him.
I know. The saddest part is that he really tries so hard to be impressive. It’s obviously not working because there is just nothing there.
