As Front Office Sports notes, this vehicle retails for about $270,000.
Of course, the college football landscape is littered with NIL money, and Beck is no exception.
Per On3, his annual NIL value is approximately $1.5 million. He has deals with The Players' Lounge, Associated Credit Union, Leaf Trading Cards, and more.
Beck, eligible for the 2024 NFL Draft, opted to stay at school. He said that the NIL money didn't play a factor in his return to school.
"That [NIL] was not one of the biggest factors of me coming back," Beck said ahead of the Orange Bowl. "Obviously, as the quarterback at Georgia, there's going to be plenty of opportunities outside of Georgia for me to make NIL and things like that. For now, coming back and trying to win a championship with these guys and this team is so important to me. I know that's so cliché, and that's what I'm supposed to say, but I truly believe that."
Fans on X had some thoughts on Beck's purchase.

That’s why like 80% of NFL players go bankrupt after leaving the NFL. These kids need to be taught finance 101 😂

We’ve officially crossed a line now. I wanted college players to be compensated. This is obscene.
We broke college football. https://t.co/AolK7qVZRK

"We've officially crossed a line now. I wanted college players to be compensated. This is obscene. We broke college football," Omar Kelly said.
This past season, Beck threw for 3,949 yards, 24 touchdowns, and six interceptions on 302 completions.
The Bulldogs look to rebound after missing the College Football Playoff last season after winning back-to-back College Football National Championships.
Their 2024 season ends on August 31, 2024, against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
