Five-Star QB Jared Curtis Flips From Georgia to Vanderbilt on Eve of Early Signing

Curtis cited proximity, early playing opportunity under Clark Lea, plus frustration over a premature leak.

Overview

  • The Nashville Christian standout confirmed on X late Tuesday that he is committing to Vanderbilt after briefly denying early reports of a flip.
  • Curtis is the No. 1 quarterback in the 2026 class by the 247Sports Composite and will be Vanderbilt’s highest-rated high school commit and first five-star signee.
  • He is scheduled to sign Wednesday at Nashville Christian as the early signing period opens.
  • In his statement, Curtis pointed to staying close to home, playing in front of family, Vanderbilt’s 10-2 rise, a clear path to compete with Diego Pavia finishing his eligibility, and Lea’s six-year extension.
  • The decision removes Georgia’s headliner at quarterback in its 2026 class, with the Bulldogs expected to lean on existing depth and potential transfer options.
