Arnett played running back and linebacker as a junior but he will end up playing fullback for his senior season.
As a running back, Arnett rushed for 372 yards on 39 carries and scored four touchdowns.
As a linebacker, Arnett accounted for 76 tackles, nine pass breakups, eight sacks and had one safety.
“Zach is a hitter,” La Cueva head coach Fred Romero said. “As a matter of fact, he’s the best hitter on the team.”
“When you get hit by Zach,” Romero said. “You know you have been hit.”
Arnett is getting recruiting attention from New Mexico, UTEP and Arizona.
Every season New Mexico is sending more players to the D-I level. It is programs like La Cueva and players like Arnett that are the reason.
