Oklahoma commit Jackson Arnold electric in Guyer’s 50-27 win Thursday night

Oklahoma Sooners five-star quarterback commit Jackson Arnold is off to a fantastic start to the season for Denton Guyer.

For months, Oklahoma 2023 commit, Jackson Arnold has seen his status rise. He won the elite 11 MVP award, earned consensus five-star status, and has helped Denton Guyer get off to a 3-0 start.

After making a trip to the Texas state championship game in 2021, Arnold and his Guyer teammates are on a roll to start the 2022 season in hopes of completing a championship run.

Through three games, Arnold’s completed 65% of his passes for 832 yards, 10 touchdowns, and zero interceptions. He also leads Guyer in rushing with 133 yards on 16 attempts with three rushing touchdowns.That’s more than 300 combined passing and rushing yards per game and four total touchdowns.

In Guyer’s win 50-27 over Lancaster, Arnold threw for 304 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for 22 yards and a touchdown.

Safe to say, the Oklahoma Sooners got one of the best, if not the best quarterbacks in the country in Jackson Arnold.

Here’s a look at some of the highlights from his big-time performance Thursday night.

 

Oklahoma five-star QB commit Jackson Arnold dazzles in first game of season

In the first game of his senior season, five-star QB commit Jackson Arnold puts on a show throwing for 3 touchdowns and running for another.

After an entire off-season that saw him go from a four-star quarterback prospect to five-star status and a commitment to the University of Oklahoma, Jackson Arnold finally took to the field Thursday evening to kick off the final season of his high school career. It was a dominant effort from him and his Denton Guyer team, who have state championship aspirations again after going to the state title game the last two years.

Arnold put on a clinic showing off the dual-threat ability that was incredibly enticing to Oklahoma offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby. Arnold threw for three touchdowns and used his legs to take a zone read 64 yards to the house for a fourth touchdown as Denton Guyer cruised to a 47-14 win over Rockwall Heath.

One of Arnold’s touchdown throws went to 2024 recruit Eli Bowen, a two-way player for Guyer who is also being recruited by Oklahoma and is the younger brother of 2023 safety recruit Peyton Bowen, who the Sooners have been trying to flip from Notre Dame for months.

Sooners 2023 QB commit Jackson Arnold earns five-star rating in 247Sports Composite rankings

He’s been rising up the recruiting rankings all spring and now the Oklahoma Sooners 2023 quarterback commit Jackson Arnold has earned his fifth star.

When the coaching turnover of last winter led to the gutting of Oklahoma’s 2023 recruiting class, the Sooners landed a big-time commitment from Denton Guyer quarterback [autotag]Jackson Arnold[/autotag]. Arnold, who had just started his first year on varsity, helped Guyer reach the state championship game.

Arnold was one of the first offers made by [autotag]Brent Venables[/autotag] and [autotag]Jeff Lebby[/autotag] for the 2023 class and he represents the first 2023 commitment under Oklahoma’s new regime.

Jackson Arnold joined Locked On Sooners this week to discuss what his recruitment was like. It was Arnold that reached out after [autotag]Lincoln Riley[/autotag] left and Malachi Nelson decommited. Arnold’s recruiting coordinator at Denton Guyer connected with [autotag]Cale Gundy[/autotag] to express the then-junior quarterback’s interest in Oklahoma and once Brent Venables and Jeff Lebby came on board, they made an offer. Just over a month later, the Oklahoma Sooners had the centerpiece of their 2023 recruiting class in Jackson Arnold.

That Jackson Arnold was a pivotal commitment is a massive understatement. And the talent that has had Jeff Lebby excited about Arnold since the two first started talking more than a year ago is getting noticed more and more. Today, it was revealed that Jackson Arnold earned a fifth star in the 247Sports Composite rankings. While not a consensus five-star yet, he’s risen up recruiting rankings across each of the major services we track here on Sooners Wire.

In the 247Sports rankings, Arnold rose from the No. 47 overall player to No. 35. In the 247Sports Composite, Arnold saw a massive 41 spot jump from No. 72 to No. 31 overall. Over at On3, he went from No. 140 to No. 56 and saw a 58 spot jump in On3’s Consensus Rankings. Rivals moved him up 132 spots to No. 38 overall. ESPN has been in on Arnold all along, ranking him at No. 39, which is just a three-spot jump since our last update.

Though he hasn’t received a five-star rating from the other recruiting services, with the way he’s climbed the rankings, it’s entirely possible that he’s a five-star quarterback by the time the 2022 season ends.

Brian Kelly set to check in on Isidore Newman QB Arch Manning

LSU’s turn to check in on the hottest name in recruiting

[mm-video type=video id=01ftc4zcds4p4kz70kfg playlist_id=01eqbz5s7cf4w69e0n player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01ftc4zcds4p4kz70kfg/01ftc4zcds4p4kz70kfg-b15fd6e96d3ba59bd4f03d4f6996c6a1.jpg]

As of late every top school seems to be checking in on the nation’s best quarterback, Arch Manning. It doesn’t take LSU long to go see Manning as it is a shorter commute than everyone else since they just need to go from Baton Rouge to New Orleans.

We’ve seen Lane Kiffin, Nick Saban, Steve Sarkisian, and many more all make the journey into Louisiana to check in on the state’s top player. Brian Kelly is now getting ready to see the Manning family scion. Manning visited LSU back in June. Of course, the Tigers had a different staff back then.

Manning has been the target of every school but it seems Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss, and Texas have all the momentum on that front. It might be a little late in the process but Kelly needs to at least see where he is in the process. The Tigers are trying to figure out where they go at quarterback in 2023, they recently offered Dante Moore and Nico Imaleava.

The biggest issue with trying to figure out where Arch Manning is on schools in recruiting is that he has kept things quiet.

While Steve Wiltfong reports that Kelly will visit Manning, the team has a couple of other prospects on the team to check with. Will Randle is a 2023 tight end and Brett Bordelon is a 2025 offensive tackle. Bordelon’s older brother Bo signed with LSU in the 2022 class.
