Mel Kiper Jr. is already far into his research and preparations for the 2026 NFL Draft, as the draft is just over 4 months away. But the college football season has one final game remaining — the Indiana Hoosiers and Miami Hurricanes face off in the College Football Playoff National Championship.
That game features Fernando Mendoza, who is widely looked at as the No. 1 prospect in the draft, against Carson Beck, who, a couple years ago at Georgia, was looked at as a high prospect. While he isn’t looked at like he was then, Kiper believes that Beck could secure the QB4 or QB5 spot in the draft with a big performance.
“It could put him in that fourth or fifth quarterback spot, guaranteed,” Kiper said on ESPN’s Get Up on Wednesday. “This is a guy who has to cut down on those interceptions, 23 interceptions over the last 2 years. But, this past year, this was his best year overall for Carson Beck. He is a guy that I think could be a career backup in the NFL. I would say late Day 2, early Day 3 for him.”

— Get Up (@GetUpESPN) January 14, 2026Interceptions have been an issue throughout his career, but he has done a great job recently of not making those mistakes. In the Hurricanes’ 2 losses this year, he threw 6 of his 11 on the season. Since their last loss against SMU on Nov. 1, he has thrown 15 touchdowns and only 2 interceptions.
He has helped lead the Hurricanes to the national title for the first time in 24 years. Miami is an underdog in this game, as the Hoosiers have looked nearly unbeatable in the College Football Playoff. However, if Beck is able to limit the mistakes, he has a chance to end a wild career on a high note.
