Denton (Texas) Guyer five-star quarterback Jackson Arnold is one of the top signal-callers in the 2023 cycle. The Oklahoma commit demonstrated his skillset Friday night in a 62-7 win over Little Elm (Texas) Braswell.

Arnold sent a throw far downfield that was wobbling. However, Incarnate Word wide receiver commit Landon Sides was wide open and proceeded to race into the end zone for a touchdown. Arnold finished the game with 269 yards and two touchdowns, along with 65 rushing yards and one touchdown on the ground.

A 6-foot-1, 198 pound prospect, 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. 6 in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings and No. 1 in the Big 12. Oklahoma’s group contains six top-100 prospects, including Arnold.

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.”
