Here is a look at who Jackson Arnold will need to beat to become the Tigers’ all-time leading passer.
Auburn football will trot a new quarterback on the field this season in Oklahoma transfer Jackson Arnold.
Arnold has college experience, making 10 starts for the Sooners between 2023 and 2024. In that time, he threw for 1,984 yards and 16 touchdowns. He made his biggest splash last season by passing for 1,421 yards and 12 touchdowns in a role where he mostly held the starting quarterback job, but was platooned in several situations.
Arnold will have a fresh start at Auburn and will have plenty of reliable targets to pass to, such as Cam Coleman, Eric Singleton, and Horatio Fields. With two seasons of eligibility remaining, Arnold could cement himself as one of the greatest passers in Auburn history.
How much work does Arnold need to do to become one of the program’s best passers? Here is a look at the top 10 passers in Auburn history, since 2000.

White played just two seasons at Auburn, throwing over 1,000 yards in each season. He played a large role in getting Auburn to the Sugar Bowl in 2016 by passing for 1,679 yards and nine touchdowns in a two-quarterback system. White ended his Auburn career with 2,845 yards and a completion percentage of 61.5%.
No. 9 Cam Newton
Cam Newton had the best season of any Auburn quarterback in history during the 2010 season by passing for 2,854 yards and 30 scores while adding 1,473 yards and 20 scores on the ground. However, he played just one season at Auburn, which explains his placement on the list. Despite having the ninth-highest passing yards among Auburn quarterbacks since 2000, he ranks No. 11 in Auburn history in career touchdown passes, leading several notable quarterbacks Reggie Slack, Ben Leard, and Jeff Burger.
No. 8 Chris Todd
