This is a battle of the fittest for the best! While everyone thought Jared Curtis was headed to Eugene, things took a sharp turn in Athens during his unofficial visit this weekend.
“This is not one of those things from 10 years ago where you sit in a coaches offices, you mom gets a feel, you get a feel, then you commit to a school. This is new age recruiting,” Rusty Mansell pointed out. It’s not just Smart and Lanning anymore; it involves agents, representatives, and NIL bags. But as things stand, Kirby Smart is in a strong position to secure the commitment of the No. 1 QB in the 2026 class. Georgia hosted an extended stay that could prove vital in this high-stakes recruiting war against Dan Lanning’s Oregon.
If you’re Kirby Smart or Mike Bobo, you couldn’t have asked for a better opportunity. Georgia hosted Jared Curtis for four days, and it looks like the Dawgs made the most of it. DawgsHQ Rusty Mansell joined Josh Newberg in a new episode on On3 Recruits on March 17 to drop fresh intel on 5-star QB. “I do know the location for his family is something they really like about Georgia,” he said. “You’re gonna hear a lot of stuff over the next couple of weeks about where this kid might be leaning, where he might not be leaning… But I do know that Georgia feels like this visit went well for them.” Could that be an understatement?
