In a highly anticipated decision that sent ripples through college football, Jared Curtis, the nation’s fifth-ranked quarterback prospect, officially committed to the Georgia Bulldogs. Curtis, who has been the subject of intense recruiting battles between some of the most prestigious football programs in the country, made his announcement earlier today, choosing Georgia over fierce competition from Alabama and Oregon State.
Curtis, a 6’4″, 210-pound signal caller from Lincoln High School in Omaha, Nebraska, has long been regarded as one of the top prospects in the 2025 recruiting class. His decision marks a major victory for Georgia head coach Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs’ already stacked roster, which will be looking to maintain its dominance in the Southeastern Conference (SEC) and compete for national titles in the years to come.
While Curtis kept his decision under wraps for months, the recruiting battle for the highly touted quarterback has been nothing short of dramatic. Alabama, led by head coach Nick Saban, had long been considered one of the front-runners for Curtis’ services, but it was Georgia’s impressive development of quarterbacks under Smart that ultimately swayed the talented youngster. Oregon State, too, made a strong push, offering Curtis a unique opportunity to play in a rising program within the Pac-12, but Curtis ultimately chose the Bulldogs.
Speaking on his commitment, Curtis expressed his excitement for what lies ahead in Athens. “It’s been an incredible journey to this point, and I’m beyond grateful for all the schools that have recruited me,” Curtis said in a statement. “Ultimately, Georgia just felt like the best fit for me, both as a player and as a person. The coaching staff, the culture, the facilities—everything about Georgia just feels like home. I can’t wait to get started and help contribute to something special.”
The decision to choose Georgia is not surprising given the success the Bulldogs have enjoyed under Smart. Georgia has been a perennial contender for the national championship in recent years, winning back-to-back titles in 2021 and 2022, with their powerful defense and high-flying offense. Quarterbacks who have come through the program, like Jake Fromm and Stetson Bennett, have seen great success in the system, and Curtis is expected to be the next in line for greatness.
Curtis has displayed a remarkable combination of arm strength, accuracy, and poise in the pocket, traits that have made him one of the most coveted quarterbacks in the country. His performance in the national All-American Bowl, where he threw for over 300 yards and four touchdowns, was a key moment that further solidified his status as one of the nation’s elite quarterbacks.
While Curtis’ commitment to Georgia is a major win for the Bulldogs, it also has significant implications for the recruiting landscape. The rivalry between Georgia and Alabama, in particular, has reached a fever pitch in recent years, as both programs vie for supremacy in the SEC and on the national stage. Curtis’ decision is another chapter in the ongoing saga between the two programs, as Alabama will now look to focus its efforts on other quarterbacks in the class, while Georgia solidifies its hold on the top-tier signal-caller for the foreseeable future.
The commitment also represents a potential game-changer for Georgia’s offense in the years to come. With Curtis likely to take over as the starting quarterback in a few years, the Bulldogs will have a highly skilled, top-tier talent at the helm, which could allow them to continue to build a championship-caliber team.
As for Oregon State, while the Beavers were not ultimately able to land Curtis, they continue to build momentum as one of the up-and-coming programs in the Pac-12. Their pursuit of Curtis demonstrates their ambitions to compete with the traditional powerhouses of college football, and their efforts will likely pay off in future recruiting cycles.
In the coming weeks, Curtis is expected to sign his National Letter of Intent to Georgia, officially making his commitment binding. As for the rest of the recruiting class, the Bulldogs are expected to continue their efforts to bring in top-tier talent on both sides of the ball, setting the stage for another high-profile class in 2025.
For now, however, all eyes are on Jared Curtis and his future in Athens. With his commitment, the Georgia Bulldogs have positioned themselves even more firmly as a powerhouse in college football, and Curtis’ journey in the SEC is just beginning.
