BREAKING: 5-Star QB Jared Curtis Recommits to Georgia in Stunning Flip from Oregon — Dawg Nation Rejoices as Elite 2026 Signal-Caller Returns Home
In a dramatic turn of events that has sent shockwaves through the college football recruiting landscape, 5-star quarterback Jared Curtis — widely regarded as one of the top signal-callers in the class of 2026 — has officially recommitted to the University of Georgia. The Nashville, Tennessee native originally pledged to the Bulldogs back in March 2024, choosing Georgia over a star-studded list of suitors that included Alabama, Florida State, and Tennessee. However, Curtis reopened his recruitment in October, sparking a fierce nationwide battle for his signature.
After months of speculation and visits, Curtis stunned many by flipping back to the Bulldogs, reaffirming his commitment to head coach Kirby Smart and the UGA program over Oregon, who had emerged as a favorite in recent weeks. His recommitment was confirmed via a statement on social media, where he posted, “Athens always felt like home. I’m blessed and excited to say I’m 1000% committed to the G. Let’s work. Go Dawgs!”
Standing at 6-foot-3 and weighing in at 215 pounds, Curtis is known for his elite arm talent, poise in the pocket, and dual-threat ability that has drawn comparisons to past UGA greats. Ranked among the top five overall players nationally by multiple recruiting services, his recommitment solidifies Georgia’s position atop the 2026 recruiting rankings and sends a strong message to the rest of the SEC.
Recruiting insiders point to Curtis’s close relationship with Georgia offensive coordinator Mike Bobo and the strong culture in Athens as pivotal factors in his decision to return to the Bulldogs.
“This is a massive win for Georgia,” said 247Sports analyst Steve Wiltfong. “Jared Curtis is a program-changing quarterback. Getting him back shows just how strong Georgia’s recruiting operation really is.”
Curtis has been lighting up the high school scene at Nashville Christian School, throwing for over 3,500 yards and 41 touchdowns last season while also rushing for 800+ yards and 12 scores. His leadership and athleticism have drawn national attention, making him one of the most highly-coveted recruits in recent memory.
With Curtis now locked back in, Georgia fans are buzzing with anticipation, dreaming of what he could bring to the program’s already powerhouse offense. The Bulldogs are now poised to continue their dominance in the SEC and national recruiting circles, with Curtis likely becoming the face of their 2026 class.
As the countdown to signing day continues, all eyes will remain on Curtis — a quarterback who not only commands attention on the field but now holds the hopes of Dawg Nation squarely on his shoulders.
