Miami quarterback Carson Beck was in Indianapolis last week for the NFL Scouting Combine.

The Hurricanes quarterback is expected to be taken in the 2026 NFL Draft after leading his team to an appearance in the College Football Playoff national championship.
Beck went 19-of-32 passing for 232 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the Hurricanes’ 27-21 loss to Indiana.
While the Hoosiers got the best of Beck and Miami in the national championship, some Indiana fans in the crowd at Lucas Oil Stadium gave the quarterback some grief during his workout on Saturday.

Per Jacob Camenker of USA Today, fans booed Beck every time it was his turn to throw a pass at the combine, though the NFL prospect appeared unbothered.
“Nonetheless, the crowd heartily jeered Beck each time he was shown on camera and every time it was his turn in the rotation to attempt a pass,” Camenker wrote.
“Beck seemed unbothered by the treatment, as NFL Network showed the six-year college football veteran smiling as boos rained down on him during the throwing drills.”
The crowd’s treatment of Beck was bizarre, as Miami is not a rival of Indiana, and the Hoosiers took care of business in the national championship against Beck and the Hurricanes.
Beck wasn’t the only player to draw the ire of the large contingent of Indiana fans. Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia, who had choice words after Hoosiers quarterback Fernando Mendoza won the Heisman Trophy, was also booed by the crowd.
Given the controversy surrounding Pavia and Mendoza, the crowd’s reaction to the Vanderbilt quarterback made more sense than how they treated Beck.
It’ll be interesting to see where Beck lands in the draft. The six-foot-four, 220-pound quarterback threw for 3,813 yards, 30 touchdowns and 12 interceptions last season.
Beck threw for 11,725 yards, 88 touchdowns and 32 interceptions during his time in college.
