Jaylen Arnold Jaylen Arnold 6'3" | 220 lbs | EDGE Overhills | 2027 State NC is a name that deserves to be mentioned whenever discussing the top edge defenders in the region. The 6-foot-3, 220-pound rising senior has both the production and physical tools that college coaches look for at the position. Last season, Arnold totaled more than 60 tackles and 11 sacks, consistently disrupting opposing offenses and creating pressure off the edge. He combines size, strength, and athleticism with a relentless motor, making him a nightmare matchup for offensive linemen. With his proven production and upside, Arnold enters 2026 as one of the premier defensive playmakers in the conference.

Arnold had a breakout season last year for Overhills, with 11 sacks after having just one in a handful of games as a sophomore. That makes him the most productive returner in Johnston County, and with that comes added pressure. He’s gained weight and grown into a true edge guy, and that should help him next year.
