Georgia quarterback Carson Beck will return for his fifth and final season with the program, electing not to enter next April’s NFL draft.
Beck’s decision comes a day after he announced that he would play in the Bulldogs’ game against Florida State (13–0) in the Orange Bowl but admitted his future in Athens, Ga., was uncertain, calling it the “hardest decision of his life.” Now, the Jacksonville, Fla., native said the choice was made with his “future” plans in mind.
“My friends and family have helped put me in a situation to have options for my future,” Beck said. “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!”
