Jackson Arnold, a talented quarterback known for his big plays, has made a name for himself in college football. After an outstanding high school career at John H. Guyer High School in Denton, Texas, Arnold transferred from Oklahoma to Auburn. Born on Sept. 2, 2004, in Atlanta, Georgia, he moved to Texas at age 10.
As a junior, he threw for 3,921 yards and 34 touchdowns while rushing for 659 yards and 12 touchdowns. In his senior year, he passed for 3,476 yards and 33 touchdowns, adding 921 rushing yards and 24 touchdowns. This earned him the 2022 Gatorade National Player of the Year honor. A five-star recruit, Arnold joined Oklahoma in 2023. In 2024, he started four games and passed for 1,421 yards and 12 touchdowns.
However, after a challenging season, he entered the transfer portal and signed with Auburn on Dec. 14, 2024. Now, under Coach Hugh Freeze, Arnold aims to bring his dual-threat skills to the Tigers, hoping to spark an offensive turnaround with his two remaining years of eligibility.
