WATCH: Oklahoma 5-star QB commit Jackson Arnold scores four TDs in blowout win
Denton (Texas) Guyer five-star quarterback and Oklahoma commit Jackson Arnold again showed why he is considered one of the country’s top prospects over the weekend.
In a dominant win over Lancaster (Texas), Arnold completed 14 of 22 passes for 305 yards and three touchdowns, while also adding a rushing touchdown.
He showed off all the intangibles that made him one of the most coveted prospects in the nation, including on this late touchdown pass.
Earlier in the game, he showed off his deft touch on this 50-yard strike, which nearly went for another touchdown. On the throw, he drops the ball in perfectly to his streaking receiver, who drags a defender down inside the five-yard line.
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.
He 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.
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.”
