Despite it being early in Curtis’ recruitment, the blue-chip quarterback has already taken a number of recruiting visits. The Nashville native has twice visited Tennessee including one visit during 2023.
The 6-foot- 3 quarterback has visited Alabama and Georgia more than any other schools, seeing Tuscaloosa five total times (four times in 2023) and Athens three total times (twice in 2023). Curtis has visited both Florida State and Ohio State once while he hasn’t visited Texas A&M yet.
Curtis is a part of the new prep quarterback resurgence in the state of Tennessee. The Volunteer State has produced very few high-level college quarterbacks in its history. But Curtis is the second five-star quarterback in two-years from the Nashville area along with class of 2024 Brentwood Academy quarterback George MacIntyre.
Tennessee has yet to land a commit in the 2025 recruiting cycle though it’s no surprise given how early it is in the recruiting cycle.
