Kirby Smart Doubling Down on Jared Curtis’ Georgia Timeline by Poaching 5-Star RB Commit

The Georgia Bulldogs, led by Kirby Smart, have already sealed their 2026 class with five-star commitments like Kaiden Prothro and Jared Curtis. The’ commitment of Curtis is special since he is the 2027 undeclared QB1 after Gunner Stockton and already commands a $1.8 million NIL value. Moreover, Kirby Smart is serious about him and is out to get reinforcements for Curtis, offering a five-star RB, already committed to Penn State.

According to recent reports, Kemon Spell, the 2027 running back, has finally received an offer from Kirby Smart’s Georgia. “Georgia offered @KirbySmartUGA @DHill39 @wpialsportsnews @PA_TodaySports @McKTigersFB #Blessed,” wrote the RB on his X account. Ranked 1st in his position and 8th overall nationally, Kemon Spell has the potential to become a solid starter in 2027 to fuel the Jared Curtis era.

Standing at 5’10” and 210 lbs, Spell committed to Penn State last year in August. It was a coup for Penn State after Terry Smith and Stan Drayton’s recruiting finally bore massive fruit. However, despite the commitment, Curtis hasn’t stopped exploring other programs and determining the best program for himself. For instance, visited Ohio State in August, attending the Texas game. On3’s Hayes Fawcett even touted OSU, Tennessee, Michigan, USC, Notre Dame, and Alabama to flip. But now, UGA is also in contention.

Georgia, in its 2026 class, doesn’t have a quality RB like Kemon Spell, and having just Joe Lamar, a thirteenth-ranked RB, won’t cut it. Similarly, the 2027 class, too, is without an RB commitment yet, despite Smart having landed 4 prospects so far.
