Georgia has a first-round bye in this year’s College Football Playoff, but the team is reportedly preparing to be without its starting quarterback.
ESPN’s Pete Thamel, Chris Low and Mark Schlabach reported on Thursday evening that Bulldogs quarterback Carson Beck is exploring surgery options to repair an elbow injury on his throwing arm sustained during the SEC title game.
Beck having surgery would undoubtedly knock him out of playing in the postseason and most likely end his career at Georgia.
With the 2025 NFL Draft just around the corner, Beck will most likely declare as a potential first-round option.
Georgia quarterback Gunner Stockton should take over for Beck for the College Football Playoff, where he will be tasked in leading the Bulldogs to a national title. No pressure, right?
