Curtis’ agent, Peter Webb of QB Reps, would not confirm whether Curtis will clarify where his recruitment stands before the ceremony.
Further: Is Jared Curtis switching to Vanderbilt football? what we know

A source close to the situation told the Tennessean that while Curtis and Vanderbilt have spoken, the narrative that he will turn to the Commodores is inaccurate. Vanderbilt staff have never spoken to Curtis’ parents, according to the source.
Several recruiting experts believe Curtis intends to commit to Vanderbilt. Rival recruiters Steve Wiltfong and 247Sports reporter Tom Loy recorded official predictions that Curtis will move on from Georgia.
Curtis’ adjustment of his schedule will allow him to put the decision behind him before Nashville Christian’s Dec. 4 game against USJ in the Division II-A state championship game of the TSSAA football playoffs in Chattanooga.
