No high school quarterback has had a hotter start to their senior season than Denton (Texas) Guyer five-star quarterback Jackson Arnold.

After leading his squad to an impressive 47-14 victory over Rockwall (Texas) Rockwall-Heath in Week 1, Arnold was dominant in his second game of the season as his squad blew out Aledo (Texas) 44-14.

In the win, Arnold completed 22 of 34 passes for 348 yards and four touchdowns, topping his 195-yard, three-touchdown performance from last week in a major way.

His big night included this perfectly placed deep ball to a wide open receiver, which put Denton Guyer up 37-7 in the first half.

Jackson Arnold Recruiting Profile

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.

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. On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power writes this about him as prospect:

“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.”
