Top 10 college football QBs returning for 2024 season
3. Carson Beck
The Georgia starting quarterback had a strong first year as a starter. Beck finished the season ranked third in passing yards, eighth in passing efficiency, No. 15 in total yards per game, No. 16 in passing yards per game and No. 23 in passing touchdowns. The Bulldogs also finished fifth in both total offense and scoring offense.
While Beck may be the best pure passer in the country, he is mostly a pocket passer and thus ranks lower in scoring categories, finishing No. 47 in points responsible for per game and No. 31 in points responsible for. This could be seen as Georgia just having a lot of talented players around Beck given their great offensive numbers, but it could also be seen as the team not fully trusting the new signal caller. For Beck to take the next step, he will need to prove he can do more of the scoring next year.
