Carson Beck joined the Miami Hurricanes through the Transfer Portal with the sole goal of leading the program to the National Championship Game. Regarding his injuries, Head Coach Mario Cristobal provided a major update ahead of the upcoming NCAAF season.

As the first moves toward the upcoming season slowly begin to take shape, many teams are positioning themselves as title contenders, including the Hurricanes. To achieve this, they’ll need their roster at full physical strength, something Beck is also striving for.

In a recent conversation with the media, the head coach of the Hurricanes gave Miami fans reason for optimism as he addressed the current status of his star quarterback, who in recent months has dealt with a serious elbow injury.

“He’s good to go,” the experienced HC Mario Cristobal told ESPN. “He’s exceeding every benchmark.”

What can we expect from the Hurricanes this season?

While last season for the Hurricanes wasn’t entirely negative, many expected more given the level of talent they had on the field. The feeling remains that the team could have performed much better.

Led by Cam Ward, Miami managed to reach the Pop-Tarts Bowl, where they narrowly fell in a 42–41 loss to No. 18-ranked Iowa State.

Carson Beck’s arrival to the Florida program brings a breath of fresh air, as he looks to fill the void left by Ward with another high-caliber talent at the College Football level. Many are already dreaming—why not?—of a long-awaited run to the National Championship Game.
