ATLANTA -- Nine months after hitting "rock bottom" when he was benched at Oklahoma, Jackson Arnold said he's poised to write a much different story this season at Auburn.

The former five-star recruit called last year's struggles with the Sooners "part of the journey" and said he has no regrets about his time in Norman, but his fresh start at Auburn has him feeling far more confident about the future.

"I knew the situation I was walking into was going to make it ideal for me," said Arnold, ESPN's No. 3 overall recruit in the 2023 class who was 5-5 as a starter in two seasons at Oklahoma.
