The Georgia Bulldogs are putting together one of the best 2026 recruiting class in the nation, headlined by the highly-touted five-star quarterback, Jared Curtis. Curtis committed to the Bulldogs in May and has not shown any signs of decommitting again.
As Curtis prepares for his freshman season in 2026, details regarding his name, image and likeness (NIL) deal with the University of Georgia have emerged. According to Pete Nakos of Rivals, Curtis is projected to earn over $750,000 in his freshman year. That number is anticipated to escalate once he assumes the starting quarterback position for the Bulldogs. It is a bargain compared to other five-star quarterbacks as Tennessee commit Faizon Brandon and BYU commit Ryder Lyons where both are projected to make $1 million or more in their freshman year.
Curtis’s substantial NIL deal is indicative of the current landscape of college football, where top-tier quarterbacks are commanding significant amount of money. This trend was also highlighted by reports earlier this offseason suggesting that former Georgia quarterback Carson Beck could potentially earn over $6 million for his 2025 season with the Miami Hurricanes.
Curtis, currently the sole five-star commit in Georgia’s 2026 class, is expected to officially sign with the Bulldogs in Dec. 2025, following his senior year of high school. The Bulldogs’ 2026 class has 30 commits and is currently ranked second nationally.
