In a dramatic turn of events, Georgia Football’s pursuit of top 2026 quarterback recruit Jared Curtis is heating up, with the five-star prospect now a free agent after decommitting from the Bulldogs. However, Curtis’ future may still lie in Athens. The highly coveted quarterback, ranked No. 1 in his class and No. 2 overall, visited Georgia once again over the weekend, and his mother, Barbara Curtis, shared a glowing review of the experience.
“We enjoyed Georgia. We always do,” Barbara said, expressing how the Curtis family felt welcomed like family during their visit with head coach Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs staff. She went on to praise Georgia for treating them with warmth and respect, reinforcing the program’s strong bond with the Curtis family.
After reopening his recruitment, Curtis is now deciding between Georgia and Oregon, his final two schools. According to Barbara, both schools offer incredible programs and staff, making the decision particularly tough for the star recruit. With a projected $2.7 million NIL value, Curtis has become one of the most sought-after players in the 2026 class, and his final decision is set to make a massive impact on whichever program lands him.
Georgia is determined to make a compelling case as Curtis considers his future. Curtis is slated to visit both schools officially in June, which could be the final step before he makes his choice. His decision could be the game-changer that Georgia’s football program has been waiting for, with the potential to lock in a future star quarterback for years to come. The Bulldogs are keeping their fingers crossed that Curtis will ultimately stay in Athens, despite fierce competition from Oregon.
This recruitment saga is far from over, but Georgia fans have plenty to be excited about as they hope to secure one of the most elite quarterbacks in the country for their program’s future.
