UGA QB Carson Beck on his decision to stay three years…
"My answer to that is the camaraderie and the connection that we have here at the University of Georgia. I think it's unmatched to other places. Obviously, I can't compare because I haven't been anywhere else. But from things that I've heard from people who have been other places, the connection here is something that we strive to have, and I think that's one of the biggest things that kept me here all these years.”
UGA QB Carson Beck on the key to developing without in-game reps…
"Without getting a lot of reps, the biggest thing comes to the mental side. As hard as it was and as hard as it can be to be the backup and still prepare like you're the starter like you're going to go out there, it's something that I tried to do week in and week out, not matter the opponent. My mental is already kind of set, so I know what that looks like to prepare as a starter even though I haven't obviously started yet."

UGA football QB Carson Beck on watching Stetson Bennett the last three seasons…
"I think the biggest takeaway from him - he got it the worst at quarterback. I think a lot of people really hated on him a lot, and you can see that all over the Internet. He just maintained and kept his head down and kept going. I'd say that's the biggest thing that I learned from him is that you just have to do you. You have to be you, and honestly it doesn't really matter about the noise that's going on around you as long as you control your actions and your effort toward the game."
UGA football QB Carson Beck on the realization of being the starter…
"Obviously, this whole entire year I've been working for it and grinding for it. I kind of expected that for myself, but to actually hear it go live, it meant a lot to me. It's something to see all the hard work pay off, kind of like I've been saying this whole time. Sometimes it's hard to be patient in a world where everything is so immediate with social media and the Internet and everybody wants stuff now. Just seeing that patience pay off really hit home with me."
