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. He has added 871 yards and 12 scores on the ground.

Last season for Auburn, Arnold passed for 1,309 yards and six touchdowns against two interceptions. He also rushed for 311 yards and eight scores.

But he was demoted in place of Ashton Daniels in late October and only saw minimal action over the last month of the season. Arnold also lost his starting gig during his Oklahoma stint before deciding to transfer.

Now Arnold will see if he can reach his potential with the Rebels, who will be part of the revamped Mountain West next season. He will play for coach Dan Mullen, who has had success with multi-purpose quarterbacks in the past.
