Curtis, the No. 1 overall player in the 2026 class according to the 247Sports composite, has been committed to the Bulldogs since May. However, multiple Rivals recruiting analysts reported on Tuesday that Curtis has informed the Georgia staff he’ll be signing with the Commodores.
Curtis posted on social media that these reports are incorrect.
“Don’t know where all this is coming from. Haven’t had a chance to talk to either school yet. I’ll keep y’all posted,” Curtis said in a post on his X account.
Curtis hails from Nashville, with his high school about 10 miles away from Vanderbilt’s campus. Head coach Clark Lea and the Commodores have been pushing hard to flip his commitment, hosting him on a visit earlier this season.
No. 14 Vanderbilt finished its 10-2 regular season Saturday with a 45-24 rivalry win over Tennessee, pushing itself firmly into the playoff-bubble conversation ahead of Sunday’s College Football Playoff field announcement.
Commodores quarterback Diego Pavia is a Heisman Trophy contender but has said this will be his last year in college football, potentially opening the door for Curtis to start next season as a true freshman if he does sign with Vanderbilt.
Curtis has a signing ceremony scheduled on Wednesday at his high school, Nashville Christian.
