Breaking: 2026 Five-Star QB Jared Curtis Recommits to Georgia Over Oregon
In a major recruiting development, five-star quarterback Jared Curtis from Nashville, Tennessee, has announced his recommitment to the University of Georgia, choosing the Bulldogs over a strong push from the Oregon Ducks.
Curtis, widely regarded as one of the top overall prospects in the 2026 class, initially committed to Georgia early in his recruitment but later reopened his commitment to explore other options. After months of speculation and visits to several top programs, Curtis has reaffirmed his allegiance to UGA, delivering a major boost to Kirby Smart’s future quarterback room.
Standing at 6-foot-3 and weighing 215 pounds, Curtis is known for his elite arm strength, poise in the pocket, and high football IQ. His performances at national camps and for Nashville Christian School have made him a household name in recruiting circles, drawing comparisons to recent elite QB prospects like Nico Iamaleava and Arch Manning.
Oregon, led by head coach Dan Lanning, made a strong late push for Curtis, selling the program’s offensive creativity and recent quarterback development success. However, sources close to Curtis indicate that relationships built in Athens—and the chance to compete in the SEC—ultimately won out.
“I feel like Georgia is the right place for me to grow, both as a quarterback and as a man,” Curtis said in a statement posted to social media. “Coach Smart and the staff never stopped believing in me, and I’m excited to get back to work with them.”
Georgia now secures one of the top quarterbacks in the 2026 cycle and continues its streak of elite quarterback recruiting, following the likes of Carson Beck and Dylan Raiola. With Curtis back in the fold, the Bulldogs’ 2026 class is poised to remain among the nation’s best.
Recruiting analysts note that Curtis’ recommitment could spark a domino effect, potentially influencing several top offensive prospects who had been waiting to see where the talented signal-caller would land.
For now, Georgia fans can celebrate the return of their quarterback of the future—a dynamic talent who looks poised to carry the Bulldogs into the next era of college football dominance.
