Early life and education

Curhan was born on February 9, 1998.[1] He attended Redwood High School, starting on the offensive line for three seasons, from 2013–2015, even though 2013 was his first time playing the sport. He was a three-star recruit to University of California in 2016, spending his first year as a redshirt.[1] In his second year, Curhan was one of two players to start in all twelve games on offense, playing right tackle while earning Pac-12 All-Academic honors. Following a game against Ole Miss, he was named the team's player of the week.[1]

As a sophomore in 2018, Curhan started in all thirteen games, earning All-Academic honors for the second consecutive year. He also made two tackles on offensive turnovers. He started every game for the third straight year as a junior in 2019, earning All-Pac-12 honors from Phil Steele and Pro Football Focus. In a shortened 2020 season that included just four games, he made two starts and was given honorable mention All-Pac-12 from coaches.[1] Rather than play an additional season, Curhan declared for the NFL Draft.[1]
