The Oklahoma Sooners former five-star quarterback, Jackson Arnold, is the guy going into 2024. It’s undisputed who the quarterback will be. And there’s good reason for it.
Arnold is an incredible talent.
Sure, the Arizona game was a mixed bag. There was a great deal of good, but the four turnovers spoiled what could have been a fantastic first start.
Chalk it up to freshman miscues, not playing fast enough, or not realizing he can’t get away with the same throws in college that he did in high school. Still, Arnold showed a ton of promise on several big-time throws throughout the 2023 season that should have fans excited about his potential.
However, ESPN wonders if Arnold will be ready. In its look at the biggest question facing each top 25 team, the worldwide leader in sports asked, “How ready is Jackson Arnold?”

The good: Arnold threw for 339 yards and two TDs. The bad: He also threw three interceptions. With a full spring as the starter under new coordinators Seth Littrell and Joe Jon Finley, the spring will be a sprint to get Arnold up to speed for the Sooners’ first SEC season and one of the country’s toughest schedules. — Dave Wilson, ESPN
While the Alamo Bowl turnovers may cause some to slow down on their expectations for Arnold in Year 1. But don’t let the turnovers take away from some of the big-time throws he made in the game.
