Five-star senior quarterback Jared Curtis will reveal his college destination earlier than planned.
Curtis, who is committed to Georgia football but reportedly considering a flip to Vanderbilt, moved his signing day ceremony up to Dec. 3. He was originally scheduled to hold his signing Dec. 5 on the last day of the early period.
The 6-foot-3, 225-pound dual-threat prospect, is the No. 1 quarterback nationally and No. 4 player overall from the 2026 class, according to the 247Sports Composite.
Curtis’ agent, Peter Webb of QB Reps, did not confirm whether Curtis will clarify where his recruitment stands before the ceremony.
Vanderbilt football’s courtship of the nation’s top senior quarterback from Nashville Christian has dominated headlines since he visited an Oct. 22 Vanderbilt practice and days later attended the Commodores’ home game against Missouri.
A source close to the situation told the Tennessean that while Curtis and Vanderbilt have spoken, the narrative that he will flip to the Commodores is inaccurate. The Vanderbilt staff has never spoken with Curtis’ parents, according to the source.
Multiple recruiting experts believe Curtis intends on committing to Vanderbilt. Rivals recruiting reporter Steve Wiltfong and 247Sports reporter Tom Loy both logged official predictions that Curtis will flip from Georgia.
Curtis adjusting his timeline will allow him to put the decision behind him before Nashville Christian’s Dec. 4 game against USJ in the TSSAA football playoffs’ Division II-A state championship game in Chattanooga.
