Georgia named as potential transfer destination for SEC starting QB

The Georgia Bulldogs have been named as one of three possible transfer destinations for Oklahoma Sooners quarterback Jackson Arnold. Arnold, who intends to enter the NCAA transfer portal when it opens on Dec. 9, is coming off an up-and-down season with the Sooners.

On3 names Georgia, Auburn and Mississippi State as three schools to watch in Arnold’s recruitment.

Arnold’s sophomore season with Oklahoma did not go according to plan after finishing his freshman campaign on a promising note. Arnold was benched midway through the season.

The 6-foot-1, 210-pound quarterback has good mobility and is a physical rusher. Arnold ran for 444 yards and three touchdowns on 150 carries this season.

Arnold played in 10 games this season. He struggled as a passer (partially thanks to the Sooners’ injured wide receiver room and porous offensive line) and never surpassed 225 passing yards in a game this season.

However, he saved an excellent performance for the Alabama game when he rushed for 131 yards on 25 carries. Oklahoma upset the Crimson Tide 24-3.

The Oklahoma quarterback posted modest numbers in the passing game. He completed 62.6% of his passes for 1,421 passing yards. He threw 12 touchdowns and just three interceptions, but was sacked 34 times. Arnold’s QBR of 48.0 is No. 89 in the country.
