Beck surprised fans on Thursday when he decided to withdraw his name from the NFL Draft and enter the NCAA transfer portal.

On his Instagram page, Beck posted a photoshopped image of him in a Hurricanes uniform with the caption, “Go Canes.”

This is the second year in a row that Miami has landed a Power 5 quarterback after Cam Ward transferred from Washington State to Miami.

The Bulldogs meanwhile will turn to the Gunner Stockton era when they return this fall.
