Carson Beck named 2024 Manning Award finalist

Georgia Bulldogs senior quarterback Carson Beck has been named a finalist for the 2024 Manning Award, the Allstate Sugar Bowl has announced.

The Manning Award was created by the Allstate Sugar Bowl in honor of the college football accomplishments of Archie, Peyton, and Eli Manning. It is the only quarterback award that takes the candidates’ bowl performances into consideration in its balloting.

Carson Beck is one of 10 finalists for the Manning Award this season. The other finalists include Jaxson Dart (Sr., Ole Miss), Quinn Ewers (Jr., Texas), Dillon Gabriel (Sr., Oregon), John Mateer (So., Washington State), Kyle McCord (Sr., Syracuse), Garrett Nussmeier (Jr., LSU), Kurtis Rourke (Sr., Indiana), Shedeur Sanders (Sr., Colorado), and Cam Ward (Sr., Miami).

“It’s been another fun year of college football,” said Archie Manning. “We’ve seen some great quarterback performances at all levels, and the fact we had 36 different players get votes to be Manning Award finalists shows the depth at the position around the country. This year, we get to follow many of them through the newly expanded College Football Playoff, so there’s a lot of football yet to be played. No matter what happens, I’m sure we’ll again have an outstanding winner of the Manning Award following all of the postseason games.”

The winner of the 2024 Manning Award will be announced after the bowls in January.

So far this season, Carson Beck has led the Bulldogs to a 10-2 record (6-2 SEC). He has completed 283-of-435 passes for 3,429 yards and 28 touchdowns. Beck has also rushed 53 times for 869 yards and one touchdown.

The No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs are next scheduled to face the No. 2 Texas Longhorns in the SEC Championship Game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Ga., on Saturday, Dec. 7. The game will be televised by ABC and streamed via ESPN+ at 4:00pm ET (Buy Tickets).
