He played football at Carrollwood Day High School in Tampa, Florida before joining the Buckeyes and was rated as the No. 6 long snapper in the country as a senior.

Arnold replaced long-snapper Bradley Robinson, who suffered a season-ending knee injury against Iowa. Against Michigan, Arnold botched a snap on a fake punt try in the final game of the 2022 regular season.
