5-star QB Jackson Arnold signs with Oklahoma Sooners

Denton (Texas) Guyer five-star quarterback Jackson Arnold has signed with Oklahoma.

The 6-foot-1, 198-pound Arnold is the No. 8 overall prospect and No. 3 quarterback in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 2 player in Texas.

Arnold competed in this year’s Elite 11 Finals in June and was named the MVP. He has been committed to Oklahoma since January 24.

Arnold currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $620. 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.
