The University of Toledo received a boost to their 2025 recruiting class on Monday with the commitment of three-star linebacker Maddox Arnold. The 6'2" 225-pounder announced his commitment on social media.

"I committed to Toledo because of my relationship with Coach [Vince Kehres] and the other coaches, they remind me of my dad," Arnold wrote on X. "Also, Toledo provides me an opportunity to compete for conference titles, bowl games, and a spot in the college football playoff."

Arnold is the fifth commit of Toledo's 2025 class and the fourth with a three-star rating from 247Sports.

He also had offers from Ball State, Bowling Green, Central Michigan, Charlotte, Eastern Michigan, Marshall, UMass, Miami (OH), Ohio, Purdue, Temple, and Western Michigan.

Early Signing Day for 2025 recruits is December 4, 2024.
