Georgia football has landed a massive commitment as five-star quarterback Jared Curtis, the No. 1 QB in the 2026 class, has officially pledged to the Bulldogs. Curtis chose Georgia over Oregon and several other top programs, solidifying himself as the future leader of the Bulldogs’ offense.
A Game-Changing Commitment for Georgia
Curtis, a 6-foot-3, 215-pound standout, is widely regarded as one of the most polished quarterbacks in the 2026 cycle. His elite arm strength, accuracy, and poise under pressure make him a perfect fit for Georgia’s offensive system. With current starter Carson Beck expected to leave for the NFL Draft after the 2024 season, Curtis could step in and compete for the starting job early in his college career.
Why Curtis Chose Georgia
Despite heavy interest from Oregon, Alabama, Tennessee, and other powerhouse programs, Curtis felt that Athens was the right place for him. Some of the key reasons behind his decision include:
- Proven QB Development – Georgia has produced top quarterbacks who have thrived at the college level and moved on to the NFL.
- Championship Culture – Under Kirby Smart, the Bulldogs have won back-to-back national titles (2021 & 2022) and remain a perennial powerhouse.
- Strong Offensive System – With a balanced attack that allows QBs to showcase their skills, Curtis will be in an environment that maximizes his potential.
- Immediate Opportunity – With Carson Beck’s exit, Curtis could have an early path to playing time if he develops quickly.
What This Means for Georgia’s 2026 Class
Landing Curtis is a huge win for Georgia’s 2026 recruiting class, setting the tone for more elite commitments. A top-ranked quarterback often attracts other high-caliber offensive talent, and Curtis’ decision could lead to more big names joining the Bulldogs in the coming months.
Bulldog Nation Gets Their Next Star
Georgia has once again secured a future franchise quarterback, ensuring their dominance in the SEC and beyond. With Curtis at the helm, the Bulldogs are well-positioned for sustained success in the post-Carson Beck era.
Welcome to Athens, Jared Curtis! Go Dawgs!
