Five-star passer Jared Curtis, the No. 1 quarterback in the 2026 class, announced his commitment to Georgia over Oregon Monday night, closing a fierce recruiting battle that sources told ESPN went "down to the wire."

Curtis, who initially committed to Georgia in March 2024 before reopening his recruitment this past October, is No. 5 overall recruit in the 2026 ESPN 300. A 6-foot-4, 225-pound junior from Nashville, Tennessee, Curtis previously stood as the cycle's third-ranked uncommitted prospect.

After entertaining interest from a host of Big Ten and SEC powers earlier this year, Curtis narrowed his finalists to Oregon and Georgia earlier this year prior to official trips to see each program in March.
