Oklahoma QB Jackson Arnold Enters Transfer Portal After Disappointing Season

The former five-star recruit's departure adds pressure on head coach Brent Venables as the Sooners face offensive struggles and quarterback instability.

Sophomore quarterback Jackson Arnold, a former five-star recruit, has entered the transfer portal after starting 10 games for Oklahoma in 2024.
Arnold threw for 1,421 yards, 12 touchdowns, and three interceptions, while rushing for 444 yards and three scores during a challenging season for the Sooners.
Oklahoma finished 6-6 in its first SEC season, with significant injuries, offensive struggles, and a midseason firing of offensive coordinator Seth Littrell contributing to its woes.
Arnold's departure marks the second consecutive year Oklahoma has lost its starting quarterback to the portal, following Dillon Gabriel's transfer to Oregon in 2023.
Newly hired offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle will be tasked with rebuilding the Sooners' offense, with freshman Michael Hawkins Jr. emerging as a potential starting quarterback for 2025.
