Denton (Texas) Guyer five-star quarterback and Oklahoma commit Jackson Arnold has put together one impressive game after another during his senior season. But the Sooners pledge may have played his best game yet on Thursday night.

During a matchup on ESPN2 with Allen (Texas) High, Arnold completed 25 of 28 passes for 334 yds and four touchdowns, while also rushing seven times for 78 yards and another score.

Denton Guyer rolled to a 49-7 win and improved its record to 8-0 as they make a run toward the state title this winter.

Arnold had a number of highlight plays, but none were more impressive than two scoring plays in the first and third quarters.

On Guyer’s first drive, Arnold dropped a perfect pass in to his receiver for a touchdown to go up 7-0.

Later on in the third quarter, Arnold escaped the pocket and scrambled to his left before taking off the down the sideline and making defenders miss en route to a 58-yard touchdown run.

Jackson Arnold Recruiting Profile

Arnold is the No. 13 overall prospect and No. 5 quarterback in the 2023 On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 2 player in Texas.

Arnold is the highest-ranked recruit in the Sooners’ 2023 recruiting class, which ranks No. 8 in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings and No. 1 in the Big 12. On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power writes this about him as prospect:

“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. Shows a strong arm with the ability to generate velocity on intermediate and downfield throws.

“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.”
