Carson Beck heard an unexpected chorus of boos at the NFL Scouting Combine and it had little to do with his performance.
According to USA Today’s Jacob Camenker, a strong contingent of Indiana Hoosiers football fans in attendance made their presence known during the quarterback’s throwing session at Lucas Oil Stadium. Each time Beck appeared on the video board or stepped up in the rotation, jeers echoed through the crowd.
Needless to say, this is a new world given how Indiana has been in college football’s basement for years. But with a little luck and Curt Cignetti leading the charge, the Hoosiers are now champions.
Beck spent his final collegiate season with the Miami Hurricanes and faced Indiana in the national championship game. The Hoosiers secured a 27-21 victory to capture the program’s first national title, a result that apparently left lingering emotions among their fan base despite the triumph.
At least it made for good TV. NFL Network cameras showed the six-year college veteran smiling as boos rained down, appearing unfazed as he delivered passes to wide receivers during drills.

Beck revamped his draft stock in 2025 after an injury-shortened 2024 season at Georgia. He threw for 3,813 yards, 30 touchdowns and 12 interceptions last season, leading the ACC with a 72.4% completion rate.
For his career, Beck amassed 11,725 passing yards and 88 touchdowns across stops at Georgia and Miami. He now turns his focus to the NFL Draft, scheduled later next month in Pittsburgh.
