No. 1 QB in 2026 class schedules official visit with Oregon Ducks

The Oregon Ducks will host 5-star QB Jared Curtis, the No. 1 passer in the 2026 class, on an official visit this summer.

The Oregon Ducks appear to be in a great position when it comes to the recruitment of 5-star quarterback Jared Curtis, the No. 1 QB in the 2026 class.

A couple of months ago, Curtis came out and said that Dan Lanning and the Ducks were leading his recruitment, and just earlier this month, he listed Oregon among his top schools. 

Now it appears that Curtis has officially locked in an official visit with the Ducks, coming to Eugene from June 6-8. Curtis will also visit the Georgia Bulldogs and South Carolina Gamecocks in the ensuing weeks of June, according to On3’s Hayes Fawcett.

The 247Sports Composite has Curtis rated as the No. 4 overall player in the nation for 2026. Should he ultimately commit to Oregon, it would be a massive addition to what is already the No. 1 ranked recruiting class in the 2026 cycle.

The Ducks got a commitment from 4-star QB Jonas Williams last summer, and they’ve also added elite players like TE Kendre Harrison, OT Kodi Greene, and RB Tradarian Ball, among many others.

5-Star quarterback names Ohio State football as finalist

Five-Star quarterback names Ohio State football as finalist #GoBucks

Ohio State football has put together a phenomenal 2025 recruiting class, but behind the scenes, the coaching staff may be putting together an even better class for 2026. Five-star quarterback, Jared Curtis, has recently narrowed down his list of potential schools to just six.

The Tennessee native is a consensus top five player in the country and was once committed to become a Georgia Bulldog. He has narrowed his list down to the Auburn Tigers, Alabama Crimson Tide, Georgia Bulldogs, Ohio State Buckeyes, Oregon Ducks, & South Carolina Gamecocks.

OSU has continued to be in the conversation for Curtis even before his commitment to Georgia and its pretty clear it isn’t giving up just yet. As we typically we see with big time recruits, Oregon isn’t going away quietly either.

The process is still too early to get worked up about in regard to Curtis and Ohio State has a wealth of talent at the position with Julian Sayin set to return and 2025, five-star stud, Tavien St. Clair coming to campus as well.

According to 247Sports’ composite rankings, Curtis is the nation’s No. 1 quarterback and the No. 1 overall recruit from Tennessee for the 2026 class. Last season at Nashville Christian, Curtis passed for 2,830 yards and 37 touchdowns while leading the Eagles to the TSSAA Division II-A state championship.

No. 1 ranked Class of 2026 QB puts UNC football on his list

The North Carolina culture has reached a new level, and the No. 1 overall QB in the Class of 2026 has noticed.

UNC football has landed in the news for just about every station on every platform with the hiring of former NFL powerhouse head coach Bill Belichick. While with the New England Patriots, Belichick attended nine Super Bowls and won six of them, the most all-time by a head coach.

Now that he is at the college level in Chapel Hill, it hasn’t taken long for recruits and transfer portal players across the country to take notice of a coach who could prepare them for the next level of football, the NFL.

That starts with the Class of 2026 recruit, Jared Curtis. According to 247 Sports, Curtis is the No. 7 ranked player in the nation, the No. 3 ranked quarterback, and the No. 1 ranked player from Tennessee.

According to the composite that 247 Sports puts together, he is the No. 4 ranked player in the nation and the No. 1 ranked quarterback.

247 Sports gives him a rating of 96. His composite score, according to them, is .9977, which could make him the highest-rated commitment that UNC football has ever seen.

The quarterback roaring from Nashville Christian School in Tennessee has offers from Alabama, Auburn, Arkansas, Colorado, and Georgia.

Currently, he is projected to join Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs, but he recently also made a statement that shocked college football. He said, “arguably the greatest coach of all time. Definitely want to get up there and meet him!”

If nothing else, the name of Bill Belichick is already starting to draw interest from some of the top talent in high school and college football.

Ohio State football missing pivotal chance to recruit Class of 2026 No. 1 QB due to noon kickoff

Ohio State football won’t be able to bring in Jared Curtis, the No. 1 QB in the Class of 2026, on Saturday due to the noon kickoff start.

The Ohio State Buckeyes are a powerhouse college football program, and they have the ability to bring in some of the best of the best high school athletes, not only to visit in Columbus but to play there as well.

The talent pool for the next generation is always a top of conversation for collegiate programs, and having incoming prospects and recruits to high-energy games is immensely beneficial for all parties as they get to see the type of environment that a college can have on the brightest stage.

However, when it is a noon ET game and high school football playoffs are still ongoing, it makes matters a bit tougher, and the Buckeyes are figuring that out the hard way as they will miss out on a chance to have No. 1 overall Class of 2026 quarterback Jared Curtis to Columbus.

Curtis is the No. 1 quarterback, the No. 1 player from Tennessee and the No. 4 overall prospect from the Class of 2026 per 247Sports Composite scoring.

Per On3’s Steve Wiltfong, Curtis won’t be able to make the game due to having a third-round playoff game and logistics just won’t be able to work themselves out.

The game was announced as FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff several days ago and will also have ESPN’s College Gameday prior. It is a big deal as the regular season college football slate only has so many top-five games.

With Indiana No. 5 and Ohio State No. 2, it is bound to be the most high-profile battle this weekend.

Ohio State football hosting elite QB prospect for battle with Indiana

The Ohio State Buckeyes will host Jared Curtis, the No. 1 2026 quarterback, for their home game against the Indiana Hoosiers on Nov. 23.

The Ohio State Buckeyes have their top 2025 quarterback recruit locked up. What about 2026 though?

Tavien St. Clair will be coming to Columbus next season and is a five-star quarterback, the second-best player in the country and the top player from Ohio.

However, when looking further into the future, the Buckeyes don’t have a strong quarterback option locked in for the 2026 recruiting class.

That could change soon as Jared Curtis, On3’s top quarterback for the class, will visit Ohio State on November 23 per Steve Wiltfong. Chris Henry Jr. is the only commit for Ohio State as this moment.

Curtis has offers from Alabama, Cincinnati, Auburn, Arkansas and numerous other programs. Per 247Sports composite scoring, he is the top quarterback in the class, the No. 1 player from the state of Tennessee and the No. 4 player nationally.

Curtis attends at Nashville Christian School now. The 247Sports prediction is that Georgia is going to be the landing spot. Let’s hope November 23 can change that!
