Press Release: Jared Curtis Re-Commits to Georgia, Impacting Quarterback Recruitment Landscape
In a pivotal move for the 2026 recruiting class, five-star quarterback Jared Curtis re-committed to the University of Georgia on Monday, marking a significant win for the Bulldogs as they secured a top prospect over Oregon. This decision has set off a chain reaction in the recruitment of other high school quarterbacks.
For Oregon, the loss of Curtis adds to a challenging recruiting cycle that recently saw four-star Jonas Williams switch his commitment to USC. With Curtis choosing Georgia, the Ducks are refocusing their efforts on Ryder Lyons, a 2027 quarterback perceived as a strong candidate for Oregon’s renewed strategy. Lyons, known for his mobility and playmaking ability, has caught the attention of several programs, including BYU and Michigan, with Oregon emerging as a leading contender.
The shift also benefits Ole Miss in their pursuit of four-star Landon Duckworth, who may be more inclined to commit now that Curtis is off the board. Although Ole Miss remains a long shot for Lyons, the situation bolsters their recruitment of Duckworth, positioning them as frontrunners.
Additionally, this development may influence Oklahoma’s commitment status. Jaden O’Neal, a current Oklahoma commit, faces increasing competition as the Sooners explore other options like Bowe Bentley from LSU. This scenario places added pressure on OU to maintain their commitments while pursuing top-tier talent.
With Curtis’s commitment solidifying Georgia’s position, ramifications ripple through various programs, signifying a dynamic landscape in college football recruitment. As teams reposition themselves, the coming months will reveal how these shifts play out in the competitive arena of college football recruiting.
