Beck will be the new Trevor Lawrence of quarterback recruits this year as the college football world anticipates the next move of the 4-star athlete. He was also committed to Alabama for both football and baseball, but has since focused his attention on football. The University of Florida is high on the list of Beck and Dan Hicken of 1010XL also says Miami is also a contender.
Beck's pops called Mullen and the Gators visit "impressive"….Think UF would be leader in clubhouse….for those of you who don't know Beck was an outstanding baseball player who orginally committed to UF to play baseball for Kevin O'Sullivan

Part of the reason he's opening up his recruitment again was because of all the coaching changes at Bama…He really likes UM who lured Dan Enos to coach there, and UF with Mullen and the proximity….
