The Oregon Ducks hosted 2026 five-star quarterback recruit Jared Curtis out of Nashville Christian Academy in Tennessee for a three-day visit over the weekend, On3 reported. The visit seemed to have gone well, according to his mother.
"It was a great visit," Barbara Curtis said. “We had a great time! And learned a lot about what he’s building.
"It was great to fellowship with the coaches and staff. We learned more about the school and program. Our relationship deepened and I appreciate all they did to ensure our visit went well.
“I walked away feeling good if Jared chose to go there."
Oregon appears to be a top school for Curtis. Hayes Fawcett of On3 reported that Curtis narrowed down his top two schools to the Ducks and Georgia Bulldogs after canceling official visits to South Carolina and Auburn in February.
