In 1998, as a senior, he rushed for 1,974 yards and 32 TDs and had 2,555 all-purpose yards. He was named to the All-State team and selected as the Class 3A player of the year. He was also named to the Parade All-American team and to the USA Today All-American team. In a recruiting battle, Arnold chose the University of Washington over Colorado, Notre Dame and other schools.

Playing as a running back as a true freshman in 1999, he appeared in all 11 regular games and in the Holiday Bowl against Kansas State. In the second game of his college career, he set a school record with a 100 yard kickoff return for a TD against Air Force. It earned him the Pac-10 Special Teams Player of the week. In the Apple Cup game against rival Washington State, he had an 80 yard TD run from scrimmage and finished the game with 126 yards on 14 carries. He finished the year 19th in the nation with a kickoff return average of 24.9 yards per return. He started the 2000 season as the staring tailback. On October 7, 2000, against Oregon State, in the Huskies 33-30 win over the Beavers, which was their only loss of the season, he rushed for 102 yards and had 65 receiving yards in earning the Pac 10 Offensive player of the week. Because of an injury, he missed the remaining of the 1999 season.

In 2000, he coverted to wide receiver and started his last two years opposite All-Pac 10 wide receiver Reggie Williams.

Following his college career, he signed a free agent contract with the Indianapolis Colts in 2003, but he was released at the end of the preseason. He signed a contract with the Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian Football league, but later decided not to pursue a professional football career.
