Five-Star QB Jared Curtis Commits to Georgia, Boosts 2026 Class

Five-star quarterback Jared Curtis, the top-ranked QB and No. 2 overall player in the 2026 class, committed to Georgia over Oregon after previously decommitting last fall to fully evaluate his options. Curtis, who excelled at Nashville Christian School with standout passing and rushing stats, cited the stability of Georgia's coaching staff—particularly his relationship with head coach Kirby Smart and offensive coordinator Mike Bobo—as key factors in his decision. His commitment is seen as a major recruiting victory for Georgia, marking their first five-star quarterback pledge since 2021 and positioning Curtis as one of the program's highest-rated recruits in history. The decision is expected to boost Georgia's momentum on the recruiting trail, especially in their pursuit of other top prospects like offensive tackle Jackson Cantwell and running back Savion Hiter. Curtis's presence may help attract additional elite talent, further strengthening Georgia's future rosters. Oregon, meanwhile, must renew its search for a top quarterback in the 2026 class.
