Beck is an experienced and accomplished quarterback who can help a program trying to win next season under head coach Mario Cristobal. He also has some immediate connections to the university as his girlfriend, Hanna Cavinder, is currently on the women’s basketball team. She is in the starting lineup alongside her twin sister Haley Cavinder.

After Beck's decision became public, Hanna Cavinder took to TikTok to share a video of herself and Beck dancing to the song "It's All About the U," which comes from ESPN's 30 for 30 documentary called "The U" about the Hurricanes' football dynasty.

The move means Beck — who is recovering from elbow surgery — is presumably taking over as Cam Ward’s replacement as Miami’s starter for the 2025 season. Beck originally declared for the NFL draft, then entered the transfer portal earlier this week and now will wind up at Miami.
