Arnold Jackson remains Louisville’s all-time receiving king — a true program icon
Arnold Jackson is best remembered for his 1997-2000 run at Louisville, where he set the school’s career records with 300 receptions and 3,670 receiving yards, added 31 touchdown catches, and became the first player in NCAA history to hit 300 career receptions.[4][5][9][13] His differentiators were volume, reliability, and fearlessness as both a receiver and punt returner, with elite production in 1999 (101 catches, 1,209 yards) and enough all-around impact to earn his No. 10 jersey honor in 2025.[7][10]
