Georgia quarterback Carson Beck will miss the remainder of the season with an injury to his elbow on his throwing arm suffered late in the first half of the Bulldogs' 22-19 overtime victory against Texas in the SEC championship game earlier this month.
The school said Monday that Beck underwent successful surgery performed by Dr. Neil ElAttrache in Los Angeles on his right elbow to repair his ulnar collateral ligament. Georgia said a full recovery is anticipated, with Beck expected to resume throwing in the spring.
Beck, who was considered a potential first-round pick in next year's NFL draft, was seeking medical opinions and hadn't practiced with the Bulldogs since he was hurt against the Longhorns.
In Beck's absence, sophomore Gunner Stockton is expected to make his first college start in a College Football Playoff quarterfinal matchup against Notre Dame at the Allstate Sugar Bowl in New Orleans on New Year's Day (8:45 p.m. ET/ESPN, ESPN+).
