A highly-rated quarterback at Vanderbilt University has landed an unconventional NIL agreement that features an appearance in a Hollywood film, according to recent reports.
Jared Curtis, a five-star recruit, was given a part in the movie “The Breadwinner” by comedian and devoted Commodores fan Nate Bargatze, as reported by OutKick. The quarterback’s scene involves shopping for a vehicle while wearing Vanderbilt baseball headwear.
The comedian presented his unusual recruitment offer to Curtis during a live broadcast of ESPN’s “College GameDay” in the previous season.
Curtis changed his college commitment from Georgia to his local Commodores in December, making him the most highly-ranked recruit the program has ever secured.
According to 247 Sports composite rankings for the Class of 2026, Curtis held the No. 4 position among all prospects and ranked as the No. 2 quarterback. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound player competed at Nashville Christian, accumulating close to 10,000 passing yards and over 2,000 rushing yards during his four seasons as the starting quarterback.
