2016 stats: 20 tackles, two tackles for loss, four pass breakups in 11 games

Reason to watch him this spring: Arnold had a strong freshman campaign, virtually matching senior Tion Wright's 30 tackles and four pass breakups. Now Wright is gone and so is senior Ryan Reid. This means Arnold will be looked upon to step up and potentially be the Bears' top corner as just a sophomore. He will get plenty of snaps and the key will be to see if his pass defense instincts can translate into forced turnovers. His growth will be necessary given Baylor's depth issues at the position.
