[edit] College career
[edit] 1998-2002
Arroyo was the starting quarterback for the Spartans from the 1998 - 2001 seasons. He set many school records for passing, some of which are still unsurpassed. To this day, Arroyo ranks eighth in passing yards (4,603), ninth in completions (348) and total offense (4,525 yards), and tenth in passing efficiency (115.6). He still holds the school records for single-game passing efficiency and average yards per completion. Arroyo played in the NCAA Division I record setting game against Stanford in 2001, where he threw five touchdowns and the teams put up the score 64-45, which set the record for most total offense in a single game [1]. Arroyo was the main-starter of the Spartans until Scott Rislov took the job in 2002. Arroyo graduated from San Jose State in 2003 with a degree in Kinesiology.
[edit] Coaching Career
[edit] 2003 - present
After Arroyo retired from the playing field, he took up a coaching position with San Jose State as Undergraduate Assistant Coach in 2003. In 2004, he went to Prairie View A&M University, where he was an offensive coordinator in 2004, before returning to San Jose State in 2005 working as an assistant coach, and quarterbacks coach. In 2006, Arroyo was given the title of Offensive coordinator in addition to his previous positions. He has worked with future starter Adam Tafralis, and molded him into better completions and passing percentages. When Dick Tomey arrived in 2006, Arroyo worked with Tafralis and Tomey immensely during the Spartans' New Mexico Bowl winning season.
