How long has Carson Beck been in college?
Beck has been in college since 2020. He signed with Georgia in December 2019 and spent his first season with the Bulldogs in 2020.
He took a redshirt that season. Beck spent 2021-2024 with Georgia but only became a starter during his final two seasons there in 2023 and 2024.
Carson Beck college football eligibility
Beck’s redshirt in 2020 automatically granted him an extra year of eligibility. The COVID-19-affected 2020 season provided yet another year courtesy of an NCAA blanket waiver.
The NCAA ruled that the 2020-21 season wouldn’t count against eligibility for athletes at risk of contracting COVID-19.
Because Beck played in Georgia’s 2020 season during his redshirt year, he remained a redshirt freshman in 2021. This means Beck retains eligibility through the 2026 season if he chooses to continue playing.
