Jackson Arnold wasn’t comfortable last Thursday.
“Extremely nervous,” The Denton (Texas) Guyer quarterback said. “Extremely nerve-wracking. The whole day I couldn’t focus on school. I was just thinking about scenarios that could happen. Things that could go right and go wrong. The whole day was just me being nervous up until the first snap.”
Arnold, a class of 2023 quarterback recruit, made his first career start for the Wildcats that night. And the first snap changed everything. He ran for 17 yards and got the crowd at CH Collins Athletic Complex on its feet. That's when the comfortability that was lacking earlier in the day set in and stayed a while.
“That wasn’t a designed run,” Arnold said. “It was a QB scramble that ended up pretty good.”
