Beck Named To Davey O’Brien Great 8 Following Week One Victory

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Miami quarterback Carson Beck was recognized Tuesday by the Davey O’Brien Foundation as one of the Great 8 quarterbacks of the week after guiding the Hurricanes to a victory over Notre Dame.

Beck, who entered the season on the Davey O’Brien Award Preseason Watch List, delivered a steady performance in his Miami debut. The Jacksonville, Fla., native completed 20 of 31 passes for 205 yards and two touchdowns, helping the Hurricanes take down the Fighting Irish, 27-24, with a go-ahead field goal in the final minute from senior kicker Carter Davis.

The Hurricanes’ signal caller was one of three preseason watch list selections to appear on this week’s Great 8, joined by Utah’s Devon Dampier and LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier.

The Davey O’Brien Award, founded in 1977 and first presented in 1981, is the oldest and most prestigious national quarterback award. The foundation has awarded more than $1.3 million in scholarships and grants to support student-athletes, carrying on the legacy of former TCU star Davey O’Brien – the first player to win the Heisman Trophy, Maxwell Award and Walter Camp Award in the same season.
