One of the most interesting positions to watch for Georgia football so far in the 2026 recruiting cycle has been quarterback. Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs earned a commitment from the No. 1 QB in the country in Jared Curtis last year, but that commitment fell threw as Curtis chose to reopen his recruitment.
However, Georgia has remained in contact with Curtis and they still appear to be one of his top schools right now. There are also three other quarterbacks that Georgia is keeping a pulse on in the 2026 class that all could realistically be the quarterback who ends up in Georgia’s 2026 recruiting class as well.
However, some major news was just released on Monday from a quarterback in the 2027 class that could shake things up for Georgia and who they end up with at quarterback in the 2026 class.
According to On3, quarterback Mason Holtzclaw has officially announced that he has reclassified from the 2027 class and will be joining the 2026 class. On the surface this news doesn’t seem like it would impact Georgia all that much because he is from North Carolina, but acording to Rusty Mansell with On3, Holtzclaw will play his final season of high school football in Georgia.
Holtzclaw has not been ranked in the 2026 class yet, but he is someone that will receive a lot of attention now that he has joined the 2026 recruiting class. It is unclear at this time how interested Georgia will be in Holtzclaw beause they have not yet offered him, but he does hold offers already from Florida State, Kentucky, Georgia Tech, North Carolina and Virgina Tech. So it would not be surprising at all to see Georgia offer and get involved.
Time will tell if Georgia does end up showing any interest in Holtzclaw or not, but this news has the chance to really shake things up for Georgia at quarterback in the 2026 class.
