Georgia starting quarterback Carson Beck will officially miss the remainder of the college football season after underdoing elbow surgery on Monday, the school confirmed.
Beck was hurt during the Southeastern Conference championship game against Texas, needing to come off the field in obvious pain.
Beck’s UCL surgery was performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache and he is expected to resume throwing in the spring.
ElAttrache is known in the sports world as the surgeon for Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Kobe Bryant, Shohei Ohtani, Brooks Koepka, and others.
Beck is in his second season as the Bulldogs’ starter, with a 24-3 record as the signal caller since taking over for Stetson Bennett.
Georgia plays Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals on New Year’s Day. Gunner Stockton will likely lead the Georgia offense the rest of the season.

Beck injured himself during the SEC Championship against Texas a few weeks ago in Atlanta
Stockton relieved Beck in the second half against Texas and held off one of the best teams in the country to claim the first SEC title as a 16-team conference.
Beck’s play this season has been more under fire from fans than in 2023, as he had 28 touchdowns, but a rise, with a dozen interceptions.
Beck could enter the NFL Draft but also has college eligibility remaining, giving him options for his future.
Should he opt for the NFL, Beck is not among the top group of quarterback prospects, but should be drafted.
Beck’s Georgia future would be uncertain as well, as he could opt to enter the transfer portal for his final college season with plenty of good arms in Athens.
