Denton (Texas) Guyer four-star quarterback and Oklahoma commit Jackson Arnold was named Elite 11 Finals MVP during the final day of the three-day event Thursday.

He is the No. 34 overall recruit in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Arnold had a really good performance throughout the weekend, including earning high praise from On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power on Tuesday night.

“Jackson Arnold‘s quick release and zip on the football was certainly among the best we saw on Tuesday evening,” Power said. “The ball jumps out of the Oklahoma commit’s hand. Arnold was a standout at a station that required the quarterbacks to roll out of the pocket and throw out-breaking routes across their body on the goal line. He also excelled in driving the ball to the boundary on high-difficulty throws.”

“The Denton (Texas) Guyer standout has a strong base that he uses to generate force on his passes. His power and quick throwing motion allow for a second life on some of his passes, with the ball continuing to pick up speed as it approaches the receiver.”

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $509k. 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.
