Denton (Texas) Guyer five-star quarterback Jackson Arnold is already earning himself the love of the Oklahoma fans.

During his high school game Thursday night, the Sooners commit flashed the Horns Down sign with a big smile on his face.

The five-star quarterback had another stellar game for Denton Guyer, throwing for over 300 yards and totaling four total touchdowns.

Arnold is the No. 17 overall recruit in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

The quarterback has an On3 NIL Valuation of $579K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Jackson Arnold Scouting Summary 

Tough, live-armed quarterback who quickly rose to be the top 2023 signal caller in Texas in his first year as a starter. Plays for one of the top high school programs in the Dallas Metroplex and led his team to the state title game as a junior. Plays in a spread-iso offensive scheme that heavily utilizes play action downfield passes and power running between the tackles.

A light-footed athlete who consistently escapes pressure and makes plays out of the pocket. One of the tougher top quarterbacks in the 2023 cycle, carrying a considerable rushing load. A physical runner who embraces contact. Hit the ground running in his first year as a varsity starter against top competition. Has a smaller frame than some other top quarterbacks in the cycle.
