BREAKING: 5-Star Quarterback Jared Curtis Commits to Georgia Over Oregon
In a major recruiting win for Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs, elite 5-star quarterback Jared Curtis has officially committed to the University of Georgia, choosing the SEC powerhouse over the Oregon Ducks. Curtis, one of the most highly coveted prospects in the 2026 recruiting class, made his announcement in a statement shared across social media and recruiting platforms. His commitment marks a significant moment for Georgia’s future at the quarterback position.
Hailing from Nashville, Tennessee, Curtis is widely regarded as one of the top quarterbacks in the nation. At 6-foot-4 and 225 pounds, he possesses the ideal size and arm strength for the next level, with the mobility and poise that have scouts comparing him to recent NFL-caliber talents. Throughout his high school career, Curtis has dazzled with his ability to extend plays, read defenses, and deliver pinpoint throws under pressure. His leadership and football IQ have only further elevated his stock.
For Georgia, Curtis’ commitment is a massive statement. The Bulldogs have already established themselves as a dominant force in college football under Kirby Smart, with national titles and consistent top-5 recruiting classes. Adding a player of Curtis’ caliber not only solidifies the future of their offense but also sends a clear message to other elite recruits: Georgia remains one of the premier destinations for top-tier talent.
Oregon, the runner-up in Curtis’ recruitment, made a strong push. The Ducks have gained national attention under head coach Dan Lanning, himself a former Georgia defensive coordinator, and have made strides in recruiting top players across the country. While Oregon offered Curtis an exciting vision with a creative offense and a growing brand on the West Coast, Georgia’s proven track record of success and development ultimately won out.
Curtis cited his strong relationship with Georgia’s coaching staff as a key factor in his decision, particularly offensive coordinator Mike Bobo and head coach Kirby Smart. He emphasized the program’s commitment to excellence on and off the field and its ability to prepare players for the NFL.
“I felt like Georgia was the best fit for me as a quarterback and as a person,” Curtis said during his announcement. “The culture, the coaching, the competition—everything about the program felt right. I’m ready to be a Bulldog.”
With Curtis in the fold, Georgia’s 2026 recruiting class gets a massive boost and will likely climb even higher in national rankings. His commitment could also influence other top offensive prospects to consider Georgia, knowing they would be playing alongside a top-tier signal-caller.
As the Bulldogs look ahead to the future, Jared Curtis represents more than just a star quarterback—he’s a potential cornerstone for a new generation of Georgia football. Fans in Athens have plenty to be excited about.
