A new college football rumor has shed new light on what Carson Beck and Darian Mensah are allegedly making in NIL money to bring their talents to the Miami Hurricanes and Duke Blue Devils in 2025.
As each year goes by in college football, the transfer portal continues to increase in importance due to the impact name, image, and likeness money has had on the sport. While recruiting high school stars is still important, the transfer portal has become the college version of free agency.
Bigger names are putting their services up for grabs each offseason and college football fans saw that following the conclusion of the season when Georgia Bulldogs legend Carson Beck chose to forego his final season in Athens and enter the portal. However, he did not stay there long and decided to head to Miami to play for the Hurricanes in 2025.
There has been a lot of speculation about how much Carson Beck is raking in at Miami. Well, some new figures on that amount were revealed recently.
