The Georgia Bulldogs and head coach Kirby Smart aren’t wasting any time this off-season. They may have lost earlier than they wanted to in the College Football Playoff, but that’s just given them the opportunity to get ahead of their competition in building a national championship roster for 2025 and beyond.
Yes, they have been losing some players to the NFL Draft and the Transfer Portal, but they’re also building up their future recruiting classes too. And this week, amid all the College Football Playoff action, offensive coordinator Mike Bobo was chasing after a five star quarterback recruit that Georgia very well may land.
Jared Curtis, Five Star Quarterback
Most Georgia fans are already quite familiar with the name Jared Curtis since he was committed to the Georgia Bulldogs until October 17th of last fall. Curtis, a consensus five star in the 2026 recruiting class made it clear when he decommitted from Georgia that he wasn’t closing the door. He was just opening up his recruiting to make sure he was making the right choice.
Mike Bobo and Kirby Smart’s staff obviously wants to make sure Curtis knows that Georgia is the right choice. So on Thursday offensive coordinator Bobo made a trip to visit the number one overall quarterback recruit in the nation once again.
Since the start of Georgia’s recruitment of Jared Curtis they have visited him more than any other program, nearing double-digit in-person meetings now. However, they aren’t alone in pushing hard for Curtis’ services.
The young star-in-the-making visited with Auburn, Oregon, Ole Miss, and Alabama last fall shortly after decommitting from the Bulldogs. Curtis is also reportedly still interested in Ohio State plus perhaps a couple other SEC schools that might have a long shot chance too.
Curtis is fresh off a Tennessee High School Football State Championship season where he completed over 70% of his passes, tossed 40 touchdowns, and ran in nearly 20 more scores. He’s still getting better it seems every year and looks like a lock for five star status when the 2026 rankings finally settle in.
Curtis is the type of special QB recruit that might be good enough to immediately challenge Gunner Stockton, Ryan Puglisi, or whoever is starting at quarterback for Georgia immediately following his arrival on campus. Bulldogs fans need to hope he does find his way to Athens in the end.
It’s too early to tell if Curtis will be recommitting to Georgia, but a fresh visit from the offensive coordinator certainly can’t hurt. Hopefully Kirby Smart and company can seal the deal sooner than later.
