Jared Curtis Breaks Down His Top Schools

2026 five-star quarterback Jared Curtis (Nashville, Tenn.) is an early priority for the Tennessee Volunteers and several other major programs.

Tennessee was placed in the top six schools list for 2026 five-star quarterback Jared Curtis. Curtis explained why each team was a top option for him and broke down his overall recruitment with Volunteer Country after releasing his list.

• Alabama: "I love getting up there and talking to Coach Saban and always getting to talk and spend time with Coach Rees. Also, they do a really good job at producing quarterbacks."
• Ohio State: "I really like the game plan they go into each game with, and the way they use their players is what makes them special."
• Florida State: "Coach Tokarz is a really big part of my recruitment with them, and I love being up there with him and getting to talk with Coach Norvell. I also like how they use their players."
• Texas A&M: "I really have a great time every time I go down there, and the atmosphere there is always crazy loud."
• Georgia: "I love the way they continue to win, and they are a great team, and any quarterback that goes there will always have talent around them."
• Tennessee: "I like what they are building in Tennessee! Also, the hometown team, so that's a big plus. I'd love to get back up there again here soon!"

Curtis was recently crystalballed to Ohio State; however, this recruitment is far from over. He currently measures 6-3 and 210 pounds before entering his junior season. He ranks nationally as the No. 20 prospect and the No. 2 quarterback class across the board on all recruiting sites behind Julian Lewis. Depending on a few pieces that fall for each team, all these teams hold an opportunity to land a talented prospect.
