ESPN's College GameDay was at Vanderbilt on Saturday for the No. 10 Commodores' home game against No. 15 Missouri in Week 9, and comedian Nate Bargatze returned as the guest picker.

A Vanderbilt fan from Tennessee, Bargatze briefly set aside his picking duties to attempt to play a role in the Commodores' recruiting efforts — specifically trying to flip Georgia commit Jared Curtis, a five-star quarterback recruit from Nashville, over to Vanderbilt. Curtis, who was recently at a Vanderbilt practice, is the top quarterback in the 2026 class and the No. 4 player overall nationally, per 247Sports.

"It's hard not to just remind Jared Curtis how much I would love for you to come to Vanderbilt," Bargatze said from the GameDay desk. "And we're local kids, we'll become best friends, bud."

Curtis committed to Georiga in May, according to 247Sports, but who knows? Maybe Bargatze's pitch will work.
