Brandon Arrington only needs two words to explain why football coaches love him. "My speed," he said. "I feel like my track times benefit me for getting these big offers because colleges love speed." Arrington claimed the 150-meter title and finished fourth in the 60-meter dash as a freshman at the California Winter Outdoor Championships. After playing his first two seasons at Helix, Arrington transferred to Mount Miguel ahead of his junior season. While at Helix, he caught six touchdown passes over two seasons and added a 65-yard punt return for a score as a sophomore.
