Carson Beck says he doesn’t have class anymore: ‘I graduated two years ago’

Carson Beck is one win away from becoming a college national champion, and he didn’t even have to skip classes to get there.

Beck has led the Miami Hurricanes to the College Football Playoff title game after transferring to the South Florida school. Beck, by his own admission, has not suffered too many distractions off the field.

When asked if he had attended class earlier in the week before Monday night’s title game, he laughed off the question.

Beck said, “No classes. I graduated two years ago.”

Beck, who attended Georgia before transferring, said he is “working toward other degrees now that I’ve gotten to Miami, but these programs take just over a year to finish.”

Beck added, “Obviously, I am not enrolling again next semester. I will be enrolled after this season.”

That reaction made headlines on social media.

“College football is dead,” one user wrote.

Another said, “Bro turned ‘college athlete’ into full-time career.”

Another said, “Playing college football but not going to class for two years is crazy.”

Beck redoubled his commitment to the football program.

Beck said, “I live at the facility. That’s about it. If I’m not at the facility, I’m at home, and I just bounce back and forth. That’s what it’s been like for the last month.”

Beck’s touchdown with 18 seconds remaining last week gave the 10th-seeded Hurricanes a 31-27 win over No. 6 Ole Miss. They’ll try to stop No. 1 Indiana from coming off a 16-0 season on Monday night as the underdog, but they’ll be playing in their home stadium.
