Jared Curtis Returns to Athens as Vanderbilt’s Starter After Flipping From Georgia
Gunner Stockton’s return gives Georgia a proven starter, while the transfer portal and another elite recruit keep the Bulldogs stocked at quarterback.
- On Saturday, Vanderbilt freshman quarterback Jared Curtis returns to Sanford Stadium to face Georgia, the program he committed to twice before flipping his recruitment to the Commodores in December.
- After twice committing to the Bulldogs, Curtis signed a letter of intent with Vanderbilt last December, ending a dramatic recruitment process involving multiple switches of allegiance.
- "He has tremendous talent and is way better athletically than people give him credit for," Georgia coach Kirby Smart said Monday of Curtis, who has recorded 746 yards and four touchdowns through four games.
- Georgia has not suffered from Curtis's departure largely due to fifth-year quarterback Gunner Stockton, who opted to return for his final year of eligibility rather than entering the NFL Draft.
- The Bulldogs secured a commitment from top-rated 2028 quarterback prospect Wade, who already possesses the size and arm talent that Georgia prioritizes in its ongoing recruiting efforts.
