The Sooners are set at QB for 2025
Jackson Arnold is feeling his confidence grow as the starting quarterback for the Oklahoma Sooners entering the 2024 campaign.
After sitting behind Dillon Gabriel for the majority of the 2023 season, it’s Arnold’s job to lead the Sooners into the SEC. Following the team’s spring game, Arnold explained why this offseason of growth has been much easier on him.
“Very comfortable,” Arnold said regarding the difference in knowing he’s the starter for the Sooners entering 2024. “It really helps with my confidence too, just knowing that I’m going in as the starter, for a game like today. Last season, Dillon was the starter for the whole year. I went into the Alamo Bowl, but it’s not the same as now.
“Having this whole spring to get with these guys, step in and be their leader, it’s been very comfortable for me, and helped me build a lot of confidence.”
