Former Auburn quarterback Jackson Arnold has signed with UNLV out of the NCAA transfer portal, On3’s Pete Nakos has learned. Arnold will look to reboot his career with noted quarterbacks guru Dan Mullen.

Mullen has produced a ton of excellent college quarterbacks over the year, from Alex Smith, to Tim Tebow, to Dak Prescott, to Kyle Trask. And his quarterback room had a hole after 2025’s starter Anthony Colandrea committed to Nebraska on Tuesday.

Jackson Arnold should fit in nicely. He’s precisely the type of dual-threat quarterback Mullen looks for.

Arnold began his career at Oklahoma in 2023, where he played relatively sparingly. He threw for 563 yards and four touchdowns that season, while also throwing three interceptions. He’d emerge as a much more significant contributor in 2024, though injuries would take a toll.

The 6-foot-1, 219-pound quarterback threw for 1,421 yards and 12 touchdowns with the Sooners in 2025. He threw three interceptions, greatly improving his touchdown-to-interception ratio. But he would transfer out following the season.

Jackson Arnold landed at Auburn, where he hoped Hugh Freeze could revitalize his career. For a number of reasons, that didn’t really materialize. Arnold threw for 1,309 yards and six touchdowns, against two interceptions.

But it’s his dual-threat ability that will intrigue Mullen. In three seasons, Arnold has rushed for 871 yards and 12 scores. He can really extend plays in the pocket.

On3 will have more on this developing story shortly.
