Vanderbilt Lands No. 1 Recruit Curtis in Shock Flip
2 Dec
Summary
- Top 2026 QB Jared Curtis flipped commitment from Georgia to Vanderbilt.
- Curtis, a Nashville native, seeks early playing time at Vanderbilt.
- Vanderbilt's breakthrough season includes this historic recruiting win.
In a stunning turn of events, top-ranked 2026 quarterback Jared Curtis has decommitted from Georgia and committed to Vanderbilt. This marks Vanderbilt's biggest recruiting win in program history, securing the hometown hero who was the No. 1 player in his class. Curtis had previously flipped to Georgia but has now made another change, reportedly prioritizing immediate playing time.
Curtis, a standout at Nashville Christian School, has amassed nearly 10,000 career passing yards. His decision comes as Vanderbilt's football program, under coach Clark Lea, is enjoying a breakthrough 10-2 season. The potential for Curtis to start as a freshman is a significant draw, especially with Georgia's expected starter returning in 2026.
This flip is reminiscent of other high-profile recruit decommitments and is a major blow to Georgia's recruiting class, which has slipped in national rankings. Curtis' commitment solidifies Vanderbilt's status and injects excitement into the program.
