WATCH: Oklahoma 5-star QB commit Jackson Arnold fires a long throw downfield
Denton (Texas) Guyer five-star quarterback Jackson Arnold is one of the top signal-callers in the 2023 cycle. The Oklahoma commit demonstrated why on Thursday night.
Arnold tossed a long throw downfield to help get Guyer in the red zone against Lancaster (Texas). Earlier in the game, he scored a passing and rushing touchdown.
A 6-foot-1, 198 pound prospect, Arnold is the No. 17 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. 3 player in Texas.
The quarterback added multiple touchdowns to Si Stovall later in the game. Their most recent connection helped Guyer take a 43-13 lead.

Arnold is the highest-ranked recruit in the Sooners’ 2023 recruiting class, which ranks No. 7 in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings and No. 2 in the Big 12. Oklahoma’s group contains six top-100 prospects, including Arnold.
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 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.”
