Oklahoma QB commit Jackson Arnold has On3 NIL Valuation of $508,000

As the face of Oklahoma’s 2023 recruiting class, quarterback Jackson Arnold has seen his On3 NIL Valuation increase more and more throughout the spring.

The four-star from Denton (Texas) Guyer has an On3 NIL Value of $508,000 – which places him sixth in the On3 High School Football NIL Rank. He also ranks No. 34 in the NIL 100.

Jackson Arnold’s value has grown so much throughout the spring he also has an On3 Per Post Value of $2,000. That’s largely built off a strong social media brand of around 12.7K followers, including more than 8.6K on Twitter.

Furthermore, the quarterback market has seen some steady increases, as the NIL market rate for blue-chip quarterbacks has been established. It also doesn’t hurt that Arnold is the top prospect in Oklahoma’s recruiting class. He is a vocal leader in the Sooners’ recruiting efforts. Additionally, he’s a heralded player from the Dallas Metroplex – one of the top pools of recruiting talent in the country.

What is the On3 NIL Valuation?

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. The On3 High School Football NIL Rankings is the first of its kind and the defacto NIL ranking of the top 100 high school football players ranked by market valuation.

In the On3 High School Football NIL Rankings, Jackson Arnold is only behind Five-Star Plus+ Arch Manning ($3.1 million), Tennessee commit Nico Iamaleava ($782K), USC commit Malachi Nelson ($733K), five-star quarterback Dante Moore ($654K) and Clemson commit Christopher Vizzina ($546K).

Scouting Jackson Arnold

Jackson Arnold was thrust into the spotlight at Guyer during the state championship game of his freshman season when starter Eli Stowers was knocked out of the game with a knee injury. Guyer was shut out in that game. But Arnold used the game as motivation to develop into one of the top quarterbacks in the country.

“I can just remember a young, big-eyed freshmen kid with hair hanging down on his face,” Guyer coach Rodney Webb told Spectrum News. “And I remember in that moment of time, this is going to kill him or make him stronger, and it made him stronger.”

So much stronger Arnold led Guyer to the 2021 state title game with 3,931 yards passing and 34 touchdowns. He now ranks as the No. 47 player in the On3 Consensus and the sixth-ranked quarterback in the country.

“He’s a tough, live-armed quarterback,” said On3’s Charles Power. “He 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.”
