Denton (Texas) Guyer five-star quarterback Jackson Arnold is one of the best signal-callers in the 2023 cycle. The Oklahoma commit can also make plays on the ground.

In Saturday’s playoff game against Trophy Club (Texas) Byron Nelson, Arnold found open field in the red zone for a rushing touchdown. Arnold also had a running score earlier in the game.

Arnold is the No. 9 overall prospect and No. 4 quarterback 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. He is also the No. 2 player in Texas.

A 6-foot-1, 198 pound prospect, Arnold is the highest-rated recruit in the Sooners’ 2023 recruiting class. Oklahoma’s group currently ranks No. 8 in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings and No. 2 in the Big 12. The class includes six top-100 prospects including Arnold, Kansas City (Mo.) North Kansas City five-star EDGE Adepoju Adebawore and Lee’s Summit (Mo.) Lee’s Summit North four-star offensive tackle Cayden Green. 

Arnold has an On3 NIL Valuation of $613K. 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 On3 Scouting Summary 

The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for Jackson Arnold:

“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.”
