Georgia football receives great news from the No. 1 QB in the country

Georgia football remains a strong contender for the No. 1 quarterback in the 2026 recruiting class. The Bulldogs are making a significant impact in this cycle, particularly on offense, as they pursue one of the nation’s elite players with a deep connection to the program.

As recruits begin narrowing down their top choices, Georgia received promising news on Wednesday regarding one of the highest-ranked quarterbacks in the class.

Jared Curtis, a five-star quarterback in the 2026 recruiting class, is ranked as the No. 4 overall player in the country according to the 247Sports composite rankings. He also holds the distinction of being the No. 1 quarterback in his class and the top player from Tennessee.

Curtis is a familiar name to Georgia fans, as he was previously committed to the Bulldogs for much of 2024. He announced his commitment on March 23 of last year but decommitted on October 17. While such a move often signals the end of a program’s chances, that doesn’t seem to be the case here.

On Wednesday, Curtis revealed his top six schools, with Georgia making the list alongside Oregon, Alabama, South Carolina, Auburn, and Ohio State. According to Hayes Fawcett of On3, this announcement came shortly after a Georgia visit, reinforcing the Bulldogs’ strong position in the race for Curtis.

With Kirby Smart’s proven ability to bring back former commits, Georgia remains a serious contender to win this recruitment. This will undoubtedly be a fascinating battle to watch as the summer unfolds.
