Georgia QB has finally discloses Bulldogs return for 2024 season

Though they still have a high-profile New Year’s Six battle with the undefeated Florida State Seminoles in the Orange Bowl, the Georgia football team’s season will be remembered as a letdown. Hey, if you win back-to-back National Championships and then come short of completing the first three-peat in nearly 100 years, the season will seem like a letdown no matter what else you do.

What is not a letdown for Georgia Bulldogs fans is the recently announced return of starting quarterback Carson Beck, who has decided to return to Georgia for one more season rather than enter the 2024 NFL Draft.

“My friends and family have helped put me in a situation to have options for my future. 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!”

Carson Beck currently has 3,738 passing yards, 26 total touchdowns, and 6 interceptions with one game remaining in Georgia’s season, the aforementioned Orange Bowl in Miami… which are comparable numbers to former Georgia QB Stetson Bennett, who had 4,128 passing yards, 37 total touchdowns, and 7 interceptions last season in two more games than Beck has played this year.

To cut a long tale short, Georgia did not miss out on the College Football Playoff due of a significant drop in performance from Stetson Bennett to Carson Beck. Beck was good enough all season for Georgia to contend for their third consecutive National Championship, and his return to Athens is a major step forward for a Bulldogs club that will face Championship or Bust expectations every year for the foreseeable future.
