Former top recruit Jackson Arnold chooses UNLV

Quarterback Jackson Arnold, a top-10 recruit in the 2023 class, has transferred to UNLV, the program announced Wednesday.

Arnold joins the Rebels after playing two seasons at Oklahoma (2023-24) and one at Auburn (2025).

UNLV needed a quarterback after standout Anthony Colandrea transferred to Nebraska. Colandrea was the Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year in 2025.

Arnold has passed for 3,293 yards and 22 touchdowns against eight interceptions during his college career.
