Why Jared Curtis flipped from Georgia football to Vanderbilt

Top quarterback prospect Jared Curtis stunned the college football world just before the 2025 early signing window by reversing his pledge from the Bulldogs to the Commodores. Although media leaks forced his hand before he could inform his relatives, the Nashville native opted to stay close to home for a clearer route to playing time instead of sitting behind Gunner Stockton in Athens.

Georgia ultimately replaced him by securing transfer Bryson Beaver from Oregon, but Kirby Smart's squad now prepares to face their former commit.

Ranked as the premier signal-caller in the 2026 cohort, Curtis has already engineered a dramatic comeback victory against NC State in his debut start for Vanderbilt. He currently carries a questionable injury status heading into Saturday's matchup.

The second-ranked Bulldogs will host the Commodores at 12:45 p.m. Eastern Time on October 3, entering the contest as heavy 25-point favorites against the heavily touted home underdog.
