Texas Tech fans react to the rumors about transfer QB Carson Beck

Thursday, the Texas Tech football program was mentioned by at least two credible sources as being a team to watch in the recruitment of Georgia transfer QB Carson Beck who entered the portal that same day. Both Pete Thamel of ESPN and Pete Nakos of On3 Sports listed the Red Raiders as a team that is in the market for Beck, though it is being widely rumored that Miami is the likely landing spot for the sixth-year senior.

Still, seeing the Red Raiders mentioned along with Miami and Ohio State as potential players in the Beck sweepstakes has brought about a ton of discussion around Raiderland. Of course, much of that talk has concerned the status of Behren Morton who started all 12 regular-season games for Tech in 2024.

Morton did not play in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl against Arkansas, though, because he had his throwing shoulder surgically repaired in early December. The expected rehabilitation time frame would keep Morton out until at least this summer according to the press release Texas Tech sent out following his operation.

However, with rumors swirling that Texas Tech is in the market for a new starting quarterback, many fans now wonder if Morton had a setback or if his injury proved to be more severe than originally believed. In fact, some Tech fans fear that this news means that Morton might miss the entire 2024 season (though no reports of that have come from Texas Tech or any credible source).

It is interesting that two respected college football insiders have linked the Red Raiders to the top transfer QB in the portal. That type of smoke can't be ignored.

Thus, Texas Tech fans have been active on social media sharing their thoughts about the potential of seeing Beck suit up for the Red Raiders. Here are some of the best remarks from X concerning the Red Raiders and their potential pursuit of Carson Beck.
