Former Top Recruit Jackson Arnold Chooses UNLV

Jackson Arnold, a dual-threat quarterback with 3,293 passing yards and 22 touchdowns over three seasons, joins UNLV to replace Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year Anthony Colandrea.

  • Wednesday, UNLV announced it received a commitment from Auburn transfer Jackson Arnold via the NCAA transfer portal, first reported by On3's Pete Nakos.
  • After Anthony Colandrea left via the transfer portal, UNLV needed a replacement at quarterback to fill the gap left by the Mountain West offensive player of the year.
  • The former five-star recruit compiled 1,309 passing yards with six touchdowns and a 63.3% completion rate in 10 games at Auburn, adding 311 rushing yards and eight rushing scores.
  • At UNLV, Arnold will inherit a Rebels offense that led the Mountain West with 30.4 points and 446.4 yards per game, entering the season after back-to-back 10-win campaigns.
  • Continuing a pattern, Arnold has transferred in consecutive offseasons, making UNLV the third FBS program he has played for in three years after failing to secure a long-term starting role.
