In a stunning turn of events, five-star quarterback recruit Jared Curtis has flipped his commitment from Clemson to Ohio State, sending shockwaves through the college football recruiting world. The 6-foot-4, 215-pound signal caller, who has long been considered one of the top quarterback prospects in the 2025 recruiting class, made the official announcement on his social media accounts earlier today, citing his excitement to join the Buckeyes and his belief in the direction of the program under head coach Ryan Day.
Curtis had been committed to Clemson for nearly a year, but after much deliberation and a recent visit to Ohio State, he made the decision to switch allegiances, giving Ryan Day and the Buckeyes a major boost as they continue to build their quarterback room for the future. The move comes just weeks before National Signing Day, leaving many in the college football world in awe of Curtis’ decision and what it means for Ohio State’s recruiting efforts.
“I want to thank Clemson for everything they’ve done for me and my family, but after careful thought and discussions with my family and coaches, I’m excited to announce that I am officially committing to Ohio State University,” Curtis said in a statement. “I believe in Coach Day and his vision for the program. The opportunity to develop under him and play at a school with such a great tradition of success is something I couldn’t pass up.”
Ohio State’s head coach Ryan Day responded swiftly to the news, offering a statement of his own that expressed both his excitement about Curtis’ commitment and his belief in what the young quarterback will bring to the program.
“We are beyond thrilled to welcome Jared Curtis to the Ohio State family,” Day said in his official statement. “Jared is an incredibly talented quarterback with all the tools needed to succeed at the highest level of college football. He has shown exceptional poise in the pocket, accuracy on the run, and the kind of leadership qualities that make him a perfect fit for our program. We’ve always prided ourselves on developing quarterbacks who go on to have success in the NFL, and we truly believe Jared has that kind of potential.”
Day continued, “What really excites me about Jared is not just his physical talent, but his mindset. He’s a winner, and he’s hungry to keep pushing himself and his teammates to new heights. We’ve been fortunate to have some incredible quarterbacks here at Ohio State, and I have no doubt that Jared will continue that tradition and help lead us to more championships.”
Curtis is the highest-rated quarterback to commit to Ohio State in the 2025 class, and his commitment comes on the heels of several key recruiting wins for the Buckeyes.
