2026 Prospect Pulse: Jared Curtis QB Georgia
It’s time to get a head start on the 2026 class and this is something new that I’m going to try out so if you all like it or you hate it let me know. Today I’m breaking down Jared Curtis, the 2026 five star QB from Nashville Christian School who’s got everyone calling him a “generational” talent. I’ve been grinding his tape and digging into his recruiting profile to figure out why he’s ranked the No. 1 QB in his class. Today, I’m walking you through my film breakdown on how I landed on his elite recruiting ranking and why he’s a must have for your rosters next year. Let’s get into it!
Film Breakdown: What Pops on Tape
I dove into Curtis’s 2024 junior season Hudl highlights cross referencing with On3 and 247Sports scouting reports to build my eval. Here’s what stood out aligned with my criteria:
1. Mechanics and Accuracy
Curtis’s arm is a cannon. He slings 50 yard bombs that hit receivers in stride with unreal velocity. He threw a 45 yard dime against Goodpasture Christian throwing off platform while rolling left. His release is quick and his ability to change arm angles screams Josh Allen but his deep ball accuracy feels more Matthew Stafford. He’s deadly on wheel route: lofting perfect passes over linebackers as seen in a clip against Friendship Christian. His footwork can get sloppy from time to time but his 70.2% completion rate shows consistency.
2. Decision Making and Poise
Curtis’s composure is next level. In the state title game, he faced a collapsing pocket but stepped up and rifled a 20 yard out to convert a third and long, cool as ice. His coach, Jeff Brothers, said he “never gets rattled,” and the tape backs it up. He reads defenses pre snap audibling to exploit blitzes. He occasionally locks onto his first read which led to nine picks as a sophomore (down to three in 2024) but his progress shows growth.
3. Physical Attributes
At 6 foot 4, 225 pounds, Curtis has a prototypical NFL frame. His arm strength is elite, firing lasers across the field and his physique allows him to absorb hits while scrambling. His throwing mechanics are smooth but need minor footwork tweaks. His football IQ shines in pro style reads aligning with Georgia’s system.
4. Landing Spot or Offers
Curtis’s commitment to Georgia is a home run. Their pro style offense under Mike Bobo fits his skill set like a glove and their NFL pipeline (Matthew Stafford) boosts his dynasty value. He also held offers from elite programs like Alabama, Ohio State, Oregon, and Notre Dame showing his national appeal. His landing spot and offer sheet scream high end potential for both college and pro success.
How I Evaluated His Recruiting Ranking
I’ve been tracking Curtis since his freshman year at Nashville Christian, where he nearly snagged Tennessee’s Mr. Football. By 2024, he was a recruiting juggernaut, completing 179-of-255 passes (70.2%) for 2,830 yards, 40 touchdowns, and just 3 interceptions, plus 637 rushing yards and 18 TDs on 88 carries. Those numbers earned him Tennessee’s Gatorade Player of the Year, Mr. Football, and a Division II-A state title. His recommitment to Georgia in May 2025, after a brief decommitment in October 2024 to explore options, cemented his status as a program changer.
• College Production Potential (0.96/1.0): Curtis’s 70.2% completion rate and 40 TDs in 2024 are CFF catnip. His accuracy (dropping dimes on slants, posts, and 50-yard bombs) promises monster stats in Georgia’s pro style offense.
• NFL Upside (0.93/1.0): At 6 foot 4, 225 lbs, Curtis has an NFL ready frame, with arm strength and precision that scream first round pick. His ability to hit tight windows and deliver deep balls with touch makes him a pro scout’s dream, especially under Kirby Smart’s NFL pipeline, which has produced stars like Carson Beck.
• Landing Spot (0.91/1.0): Georgia’s top five offense and NFL pedigree are a C2C jackpot. The Bulldogs’ system, blending play action and deep shots, fits Curtis’s skill set perfectly. A crowded QB room (Gunner Stockton, Ryan Puglisi) might delay his start until 2027, but Smart’s track record ensures massive stats and draft buzz once he’s QB1.
• Athleticism (0.89/1.0): His 4.8 40 yard dash and 18.5 MPH max speed aren’t burner level, but his 18 rushing TDs show he can escape pockets and spark plays. That mobility adds CFF points and fits the modern NFL’s demand for QBs who can move, giving him a high floor.
• Intangibles (0.91/1.0): Curtis’s Elite 11 poise, leadership, and recruiting hustle (he’s pitching to five-star OT Jackson Cantwell) scream star quality. His brief decommitment in 2024 showed maturity in weighing options, and his Georgia pledge feels rock-solid, boosting his C2C trajectory.
Weighted C2C Score:
• Total Score: 0.928 (5-Star, Elite Tier)
Curtis’s 0.928 score makes him a C2C unicorn. His accuracy (hitting receivers in stride on every route) is a fantasy cheat code, promising huge CFF stats and a 2028 NFL first-round slot.
In superflex C2C leagues, Curtis’s film is a blast: his arm, legs, and swagger make him a C2C dream. My scouting guidlines ranking (0.928/0.999) and that 0.79 star index confirm he’s a top tier prospect based on history. His tape and elite offers scream superstar. C2C managers, this is your guy for future college and pro glory.
