Jared Curtis, the nation’s top-ranked 5-star quarterback, has officially committed to the University of Georgia Bulldogs, choosing them over Oregon State and Alabama. This is a monumental decision in the world of college football, as Curtis has long been considered one of the most promising quarterbacks in his class, earning praise for his incredible arm strength, poise, and overall football IQ.
Curtis made the announcement on March 1, 2025, after a lengthy recruitment process that had fans of multiple programs holding their breath. Throughout his recruitment, many believed that Curtis would choose between a handful of elite schools, and now that his decision is clear, it has sent shockwaves through the college football world.
The Georgia Bulldogs, who have emerged as one of the nation’s premier football programs under head coach Kirby Smart, will be getting a quarterback with immense upside. Curtis, who hails from a highly competitive high school program, has already garnered comparisons to some of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game. His mechanics are flawless, and his ability to read defenses is something that sets him apart from other quarterbacks in his class.
Curtis’ commitment to Georgia is particularly significant as the Bulldogs have consistently been one of the top contenders for the national championship in recent years. With a strong offensive line, a stable of talented running backs, and a top-tier defense, Georgia offers Curtis the perfect environment to develop his skills and eventually lead the team to the next level. This commitment also further solidifies Georgia’s position as one of the most coveted destinations for top-tier talent across the country.
The decision to pick Georgia over Alabama and Oregon State comes as a bit of a surprise to some. Alabama, led by head coach Nick Saban, has been the gold standard in college football for the better part of the last two decades. With a storied program and a proven track record of developing elite quarterbacks, Alabama was always considered one of the top contenders to land Curtis. However, Georgia’s reputation for developing players and its ability to offer Curtis immediate playing time may have been the deciding factor.
Oregon State, while not traditionally viewed as a football powerhouse, made a strong push for Curtis. Under head coach Jonathan Smith, the Beavers have steadily improved, and the opportunity to be the face of the program likely appealed to Curtis. However, Georgia’s winning culture and high-profile program ultimately outweighed the appeal of Oregon State.
Curtis’ commitment represents a huge win for Georgia and its football program, which continues to dominate on the recruiting trail. It also sends a strong message to other top recruits that Georgia is the place to be if they want to compete for championships and develop their skills at the highest level.
For Curtis, the future looks bright. His decision to commit to the Bulldogs sets the stage for what could be a legendary career in Athens. As he prepares for his senior year of high school football, all eyes will be on him to see if he can live up to the immense hype surrounding his name. But for now, Curtis is fully committed to the Georgia Bulldogs, and the next chapter of his journey is set to begin.
