🔼 Guy’s Got Swag. The highest-rated QB ever at Auburn based on high school recruiting ranking, Jackson Arnold brings impressive credentials to the Plains. 

Arnold, who signed with Auburn on Saturday after two seasons at Oklahoma, was 247Sports’ No. 8 player overall nationally in the Class of 2023. Auburn’s other five-star quarterbacks include Cam Newton, Jason Campbell and 2025 signee Deuce Knight. Based off composite rankings, Arnold would be the third-highest rated high school prospect ever signed by Auburn behind only Byron Cowart (No. 3) and current Auburn freshman Cam Coleman (No. 3).
