JUST IN: MIAMI DOLPHINS in Prime Position to Secure Elite Five-Star 2026 Quarterback in Pivotal Recruiting Battle That Could Define the Program’s Future.

The Georgia Bulldogs are intensifying their efforts to secure a top-tier quarterback for their 2026 recruiting class, focusing on five-star prospect Jared Curtis. Curtis, a standout at Nashville Christian School in Tennessee, is widely regarded as one of the premier quarterbacks in his class. Standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing 225 pounds, he has demonstrated exceptional talent and leadership on the field.
Initially, Curtis committed to Georgia in March 2024, choosing the Bulldogs over other prominent programs such as Alabama, Texas, and Ohio State. However, in October 2024, he decided to reopen his recruitment, citing a desire to explore all available options.
Despite his decommitment, Georgia remains a strong contender in Curtis’s recruitment. In January 2025, Curtis announced his top six schools, listing Georgia alongside Alabama, Auburn, Ohio State, Oregon, and South Carolina. Reports suggest that the Bulldogs are “trending in the right direction” in their pursuit of Curtis, indicating a positive outlook for Georgia’s chances.
Curtis’s junior year statistics underscore his dual-threat capabilities. He completed 179 of 255 passes for 2,830 yards, achieving 40 touchdowns against just three interceptions. Additionally, he led his team in rushing, amassing 637 yards and 18 touchdowns on 88 carries. His performance earned him accolades, including Tennessee Gatorade Football Player of the Year and Tennessee Mr. Football.
Securing a commitment from Curtis would be a significant achievement for Georgia head coach Kirby Smart and his staff. It would not only bolster the Bulldogs’ quarterback depth but also signal the program’s continued commitment to attracting elite talent capable of maintaining Georgia’s status as a national powerhouse.
As the recruitment process progresses, Georgia’s coaching staff is expected to continue their diligent efforts to build a strong relationship with Curtis, emphasizing the program’s vision and the opportunities available for him in Athens. Landing a player of Curtis’s caliber could profoundly impact the Bulldogs’ future, solidifying their position at the forefront of college football.
