Will split time at QB in opener Arnold will split time with Alex Orji at quarterback in UNLV's opener against Memphis, per Steve Cofield of ESPN Las Vegas.

Impact Arnold, who transferred over from Auburn this offseason to compete with returner Alex Orji, remains deadlocked in a quarterback battle with the latter in Sin City. The competition looks like it's going to bleed over into Week 0, as both gunslingers will reportedly get a shot against Memphis on Saturday night.

AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE

Remains in QB battle UNLV head coach Dan Mullen said Monday that Arnold and Alex Orji will play and that he has not decided on a starter, according to Jonah Dylan of The Memphis Commercial Appeal.

Impact It appears that the Rebels' quarterback battle is unlike others, as Mullen believes that both quarterbacks in contention will see the field this year. With that being said, Arnold could still pull away in the final stretch of training camp. Even if splitting reps is the end goal, one of either Arnold or Orji will also need to start out the year under center. This means that another decision or update should be provided in the coming week.

Signs with UNLV Arnold has signed with UNLV, Thomas Goldkamp of On3.com reports.

Impact UNLV's head coach is Dan Mullen, critically acclaimed for how he significantly improves dual-threat quarterbacks, which Arnold occasionally was with Auburn. During 2025, the HC bettered Anthony Colandrea, who will transfer to P4 team Nebraska after logging 33 touchdowns last year. Even though Arnold's latest season is considered disappointing, he still scored 14 TDs. Much improvement will be expected from him during 2026.
