Arnold enrolled at Oklahoma in January 2023 and served as the backup to Dillon Gabriel last season. This year, Arnold served as Oklahoma’s starting quarterback. He completed 62.6 percent of his passes for 1,421 yards with 12 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. He also rushed for 444 yards and 3 touchdowns.
Oklahoma went 6-6 in its first season in the SEC. It’s the second six-win season under Brent Venables, though the Sooners could have a chance to win another game in a bowl.
Arnold will likely receive plenty of interest from other schools.
