He first started playing football at eight years old. ~~==High school career==~~ Beck attended [[Mountain View High School (Mesa)\|Mountain View High School]] in [[Mesa, Arizona]]. He was recruited by Brigham Young University, Arizona State, and Miami. He received Outstanding Male Scholar Athlete honors at Mountain View High School, a three-year [[Letterman (sports)\|letterman]], and led Mountain View High School to a state championship as a senior. His overall record was 25–2 during his junior and senior seasons. Beck earned first-team all-region, first-team all-state, ''[[USA Today]]'' [[All-American]] honorable mention, and Dairyman first-team All-America honors. He was named the region Offensive Player of the Year and garnered first-team Super All-State and Super All-State Player-of-the-Year honors. Beck was further recognized as the Arizona High School Football Player of the Year and earned both the Ed Dougherty and Fred Enke Awards (Arizona Quarterback of the Year). During his senior year, he was named the MVP during the state championship game and selected as the Arizona All-Star game Most Valuable Player. [[Fox College Sports\|Fox Sports]] recognized Beck as the Arizona 5A Player of the Year. Beck also currently holds the Arizona high school record with 42 [[touchdown]] [[Completion (American football)\|completions]] in a single season with only 4 [[interception]]s. Beyond football, Beck also [[Varsity letter\|lettered]] twice in [[baseball]] as a [[pitcher]] and an [[infielder]]. Beck is also an Eagle Scout.

He threw for a league-best 3,709 yards, marking the most yards by a Brigham Young quarterback since Brandon Doman threw for over 3,500 yards in 2001. Beck was ranked fifth nationally with a league-best 309.1 yards-per-game average, including a league-high 517 yards in a loss to TCU on Sept. 24. Beck was twice named the MWC Offensive Player or the Week. He also set MWC single-game records with (i) 41 completions (vs. [[Boston College Eagles football\|Boston College]] on September 3) and (ii) 517 yards passing (vs. [[TCU Horned Frogs football\|TCU]] on September 24). He tied a MWC single-game record with five touchdowns (vs. TCU on September 24) and was ranked second all-time in the Mountain West with 7,136 career passing yards and first in the Mountain West with 3,709 yards in 2005. Beck was a 2005 [[Davey O'Brien Award]] candidate and rated as the top passing quarterback in the MWC by [[Street & Smith]]'s. ''[[College Football News]]'' listed Beck as one of the top-30 players in the Mountain West Conference, while [[Phil Steele's]] ''College Football Preview'' ranked him as one of the top-40 quarterbacks in the country. As a senior, in 2006, Beck was ranked as the second best quarterback in the country by [[ESPN]] as measured in quarterback efficiency ratings (173.27)<ref>~~ESPN,~~{{Cite ~~NCAA~~web ~~Division~~\|title=NCAAF ~~I-A Statistics,~~Player ~~November~~Stat 27Leaders, ~~2006,~~2023 ~~http~~Postseason \|url=https://~~sports~~www.espn~~.go~~.com/~~ncf~~college-football/~~statistics~~stats \|access-date=2024-08-16 \|website=ESPN \|language=en}}</ref> and 5th best season leader in passing by [[CBS]].<ref>CBS Sportsline,http://www.sportsline.com/collegefootball/stats/playersort/NCAAF/QB {{Webarchive\|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071012173009/http://www.sportsline.com/collegefootball/stats/playersort/NCAAF/QB \|date=October 12, 2007 }}</ref> He led Brigham Young to a record of 10–2, with an 8–0 record in the Mountain West Conference.

With three seconds left on the clock, Beck dropped back, shuffled left, was pressured by a late [[Blitz (American football)\|blitzing]] [[linebacker]], and then scrambled right (nearly 11 seconds in all) before throwing back across the field to Harline, who was standing alone in the [[end zone]]. Beck finished the game with 375 passing yards and 4 touchdowns. Line 73: Beck led the Cougars to their first bowl win since 1996, a 38–8 romp over the [[Oregon Ducks]] in the [[Las Vegas Bowl]], at the end of the 2006 season. The win was made in large part because of Beck and tight end Jonny Harline. Beck totaled 375 yards and two scores and also had 26 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Harline, Beck's main target, was named the MVP after a 181-yard and 1 touchdown performance. ===~~Collegiate~~College statistics=== {\| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;" ! colspan="15" style="{{CollegePrimaryStyle\|BYU Cougars football}}"\| BYU Cougars \|- ! rowspan="2"\| Season Line 104 ⟶ 105: * ''[[Sporting News]]'' Mountain West Preseason Offensive Player of the Year (2006) * Mountain West Conference Offensive Player of the Year (2006) * ''Sporting News'' second-team [[College Football All-America Team\|All-American]]n (2006) * [[Davey O'Brien Award]] finalist (2006) * [[Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award]] finalist (2006) Line 123 ⟶ 124: \| arm span = 31 3/4 \| hand span = 9 1/2 \| note = All values from [[NFL Combine]]<ref>{{Cite web \|url=https://www.nfl.com/prospects/john-beck/32004245-4317-7695-669f-0ec465a473d1 \|title=John Beck Draft and Combine Prospect Profile \|website=NFL.com \|access-date=November 2, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web \|url=http://draftscout.com/dsprofile.php?PlayerId=14254&DraftYear=2007 \|title=2007 Draft Scout John Beck, Brigham Young NFL Draft Scout College Football Profile \|website=draftscout.com \|access-date=November 2, 2022}}</ref> }} ===Miami Dolphins=== The [[Miami Dolphins]] drafted Beck with the 40th overall pick in the 2nd round of the [[2007 NFL ~~Draft~~draft]]; he was the fourth quarterback drafted, behind [[JaMarcus Russell]], [[Brady Quinn]], and [[Kevin Kolb]].
