All eyes are set on the FirstBank Stadium, as Georgia’s 5-star commit visits Vanderbilt. Jared Curtis, the second-highest-ranked QB of the 2026 class, who got committed to Georgia, is all set to visit Vanderbilt for the Missouri game. Being a Nashville native, Jared attended a lot of Vanderbilt’s games since his childhood, but this visit has spun a lot of rumors. To spice it up, he reportedly visited Vanderbilt’s practice earlier this week. With resources already invested in Curtis, the 6-ft 4-in quarterback announced his career plans and the purpose of his visit, as an answer to the arising rumors.

According to Rivals’ report, Jared Curtis’ visit to Vanderbilt is just to watch Vanderbilt’s game against Missouri, with his teammate and his high school coach, and nothing much. He says that he is still a Bulldog, and nothing will be changed.  “I’m just going down there to watch the game with my coaches and a teammate that’s looking at Vanderbilt,” Curtis said. “It’ll be a fun time. At the end of the day, I’m still a Bulldog.” 

Reports suggest that Jared was excited to see his home team progress, from being one of the worst teams to now being ranked in the AP Top 10 for the first time since the 1940s. Curtis said, “Growing up, no disrespect, I never thought I’d see Vanderbilt winning games like this,” the Georgia commit said. “I think they’ve officially changed the program around. They’re gonna keep getting better every year, and I’m excited to see them succeed.” 

While asked about his commitment to Georgia, “I’m 100% committed,” Curtis said. This could ease some panic of Kirby Smart and the Georgia Staff, as their biggest recruit is keeping his promise tight. However, it is important to note that Curtis committed to Georgia in March 2024 and decommitted the same year in mid-season, only to get committed to them again this year. Additionally, there are still certain factors like the local ties, the program being on trend, and other things that should be monitored after he visits Vanderbilt.
