Breaking news;Five star defense player decommit Flip to Texas tech boosting 2025 record over Alabama Georgia and Oklahoma I will die in Texas tech…
Texas Tech fans may be wondering why the Red Raiders have an interest in Beck. After all, Behren Morton was more than solid as the starting QB in Lubbock this past season. He threw for 3,335 yards with 27 TDs and eight interceptions. Meanwhile, Beck had almost identical numbers passing for 3,485 yards and 28 TDs with 12 picks.
However, we must remember that in December Morton underwent major surgery on his throwing shoulder. While at the time of the operation, Texas Tech said that Morton would be back to 100% sometime in the summer, there is no guarantee that his shoulder will fully recover.
Therefore, the rumors that Tech has an interest in Beck (or another starting QB) might lead some to wonder if Morton’s recovery is not going as well as initially planned.
Other Tech fans may want to see Will Hammond take over if Morton is unable to play next fall. However, given all of the investments Tech has made through the portal, 2025 is a make-or-break year for the program, and turning the keys over to a redshirt freshman with one career start in college likely doesn’t appeal to McGuire and his coaching staff.
The Texas Tech and Carson Beck rumors came out of nowhere but given the two sources that shared them, they must be taken seriously. Thus, keep an eye on any reports about the Red Raiders pursuing starting QBs via the portal because where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire.
