The Georgia Bulldogs, led by head coach Kirby Smart, continue to excel in recruiting, even in the evolving landscape of college football. Despite changes across the SEC, Smart remains at the helm for his ninth consecutive season, consistently securing top talent. Over the past three seasons, Smart has guided the Bulldogs to impressive records, including two national championships, largely due to their recruiting prowess.
In the 2024 recruiting cycle, Georgia secured the top-ranked class according to 247Sports. However, their Class of 2025 currently sits at No. 8, with only five commitments so far. Nevertheless, Smart and his team demonstrated their recruiting prowess once again by landing a commitment from a highly touted quarterback for the 2026 class over the weekend, maintaining the Bulldogs’ tradition of recruiting success.
4-Star and highly regarded quarterback Jared Curtis commits to the Georgia Bulldogs.
Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs secured a commitment from Curtis on Saturday, despite stiff competition from Ohio State, Alabama, and Tennessee, with many experts predicting his choice would be Columbus. Curtis, hailing from Nashville, emerged as a notable quarterback prospect known for his strong arm and confidence. Initially a running back, he transitioned to quarterback and quickly excelled, earning recognition as a runner-up for Tennessee’s Mr. Football in his freshman year after leading his team to ten victories and amassing over 2,750 yards of offense.
According to 247 Sports’ scouting report, Jared Curtis demonstrates proficiency in deep passes and timing-based routes, although he’s not strictly a dual-threat quarterback, he can still move effectively when needed. His camp footage showcases a blend of velocity and finesse, though he needs to further develop his ability to read complex defenses. Nevertheless, he’s already regarded as one of the top quarterback prospects in the 2026 cycle, with potential to thrive in diverse offensive systems.
This profile aligns well with Georgia Bulldogs’ needs, as they boast a competitive quarterback roster and could benefit from Curtis’s versatile skill set. In 2023, Curtis led Nashville Christian to the semi-finals of Tennessee’s Division II-A playoffs, demonstrating his prowess with 2,522 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, and 9 interceptions, along with 543 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns, averaging 5.4 yards per carry.
