Nashville and Vanderbilt were the center of the college football world on the field as Georgia five-star quarterback commit Jared Curtis looked on.

Curtis, a Nashville native, was visiting the Commodores as they defeated No. 15-ranked Missouri in Nashville on Saturday. Vanderbilt has also been having some communication with the five-star signal caller.

Curtis has communicated in a few ways that he is solidly committed to Georgia. He also did not feel this visit was something that would impact his recruitment.

“I’m just going there to watch the game with my coaches and a teammate who’s looking at Vanderbilt,” Curtis told Rivals’ Hayes Fawcett. “It’ll be a fun time. At the end of the day, I’m still a Bulldog.”

ESPN’s College Gameday was also in town. The celebrity guest picker, comedian Nate Bargatze, also made his pitch on Vanderbilt’s behalf.

“Went to a small Christian school, kind of like a Nashville Christian, where Jared Curtis went, look for him to be coming here next year also,” Bargatze said on the show. “It’s hard not to just remind Jared Curtis how much I would love for you to come to Vanderbilt. We’re local kids… become best friends.”

Georgia head coach Kirby Smart trusts that recruits who are being pursued by Georgia stick to their word. Smart is firm that Georgia is going to sell Georgia.

“I don’t get caught up in it much,” Smart told reporters on Monday. “I don’t look at the stuff like that. We recruit the best job we can and sell what we have and talk to the kids and communicate with the kids that we talk to, and trust them for what they tell us and not get into gimmicks and propaganda stuff.”
