Carson Beck is making waves on and off the field, proving that staying in college football can have its perks—and not just for his career. The former Georgia Bulldogs quarterback has traded Athens for South Beach, committing to the Miami Hurricanes after a challenging season that saw his NFL draft stock take a dip. And the move comes with significant benefits, both financial and personal.
A $4 Million Payday
Instead of heading to the NFL, Beck opted for another year in college football, reportedly securing a lucrative NIL deal worth $4 million for his one-year stint with the Hurricanes. That figure rivals the salary of a mid-round first-round pick in the NFL, underscoring the growing power of NIL deals in shaping college athletes’ decisions.
A Reunion with Girlfriend Hanna Cavinder
Beck’s move to Miami also means the end of a long-distance relationship with his girlfriend, Hanna Cavinder. Hanna, part of the dynamic Cavinder twins duo alongside her sister Haley, has become a fixture in Miami, playing basketball for the Hurricanes while carving out a name as a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model and social media star.
The Cavinder twins skyrocketed to fame during their time at the University of Miami, gaining millions of followers for their TikTok dance routines, brand deals, and bold presence on and off the court. Beck recently joined Hanna in a playful TikTok video where the couple performed Miami’s signature “U” hand gesture dance.

Fans Weigh In
In the video, Hanna, dressed in a tiny black crop top with a matching zip-up sweatshirt and sweatpants, led the routine, while Beck kept it casual in a black T-shirt and gray sweatpants. The lighthearted clip quickly gained traction online, with fans chiming in on social media. While some celebrated the couple’s chemistry, others couldn’t resist throwing shade at Beck’s recent career challenges.
One comment on ESPN’s Instagram post read, “Miami fans, I’m sorry,” referencing the running joke among college football fans that Beck’s performance dipped after he started dating Hanna. Still, the couple’s chemistry and happiness shone through in the clip, proving the haters wrong.
A Fresh Start in Miami
Beck, 23, is heading into the 2025 season with high expectations and a chance to rebuild his NFL draft prospects. At Miami, he’ll have the opportunity to lead a program with championship aspirations, and his impressive NIL deal ensures financial security as he works to reignite his career.
For Hanna and Carson, the move is more than just a career reset—it’s a chance to share the same city, strengthening their relationship while continuing to dominate their respective fields.
Whether on the football field or in front of the camera, this power couple seems poised to take 2025 by storm.
