Jackson Arnold has been added to another preseason watch list.
The 2025 Auburn Tigers have the talent to be a good team this season. This is especially the case when it comes to the offensive side of the football.
Hugh Freeze and staff have assembled one of the best groups of receivers in college football. Additionally, the offensive line should be much better than it has been all season. With that said, the success of this offense will largely depend on quarterback Jackson Arnold. He does not have to be great, but just good, for this team to be successful.
The talent is there for Arnold to succeed. That is why he has been named to the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award watch list. This is an award given to the best offensive player in college football. It is also tied to being from the state of Texas. Arnold was one of the best high school football prospects to come out of the state. As part of the 2023 recruiting class, Arnold was rated as the No. 2 player in Texas by 247Sports before committing to Oklahoma. Nationally, he was rated as the No. 4 quarterback and No. 8 player.
There was a lot of excitement for Arnold when the 2024 season started for the Sooners. He showed his potential in Oklahoma’s Alamo Bowl loss to Arizona. In the 38-24 defeat, he threw for 361 yards and two touchdowns. Last season did not go well for Arnold, but that cannot all be placed on his shoulders. Due to the injuries at wide receiver and the lack of a good offensive line, he struggled. A fresh start at Auburn could result in Arnold showing the potential he had as a Texas high school football player.
