Georgia transfer quarterback Carson Beck is expected to receive an NIL package that pays him $4 million in 2025, sources told CBS Sports, a massive sum but one that is still less than an initial asking price industry sources believe would have shattered the highest paid NIL deal in college football history. Beck, who went 24-3 in two years as the Bulldogs’ starter, is the No. 1 ranked player in 247Sports’ transfer portal rankings.
Beck’s deal with Miami puts him in line with the highest-paid college football players in the country. CBS Sports previously reported Tulane transfer quarterback Darian Mensah received what was believed to be a groundbreaking two-year, $8 million deal with Duke.
Dan Everett, co-founder of Everett Sports Management which represents Beck, declined to discuss specific compensation but sent along the following statement to CBS Sports.
“Miami is a terrific market and we are pumped for Carson to become a Cane! As one of the premier faces of college football NIL, we expect his brand portfolio to continue expanding with premium and national brands. Carson will prioritize teammate inclusive partnerships that include charitable components.”
ESM has previously negotiated NIL deals with Beats by Dre and Airstar Charter for Beck.
After the success this past season with quarterback Cam Ward, who was believed to be the highest-paid transfer quarterback in the 2024 transfer cycle, Miami wanted to replicate the experience with another established quarterback. Miami made a hard run at Washington State transfer John Mateer, offering more than $3 million, according to sources, before he decided to reunite with offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle at Oklahoma. From the onset of NIL becoming legalized in 2021, Miami supporters have been among the most aggressive in the country in trying to secure top talent for the ACC school.
