There’s one word consistently used to describe Grayland Arnold by his teammates and coaches – leader.
The junior cornerback comes off a four-game and redshirt season that was cut short from injury in 2018. Yet, Arnold opened 2019 strong with a 73-yard punt return for a touchdown in week two against UTSA (Baylor’s first punt return for a touchdown since 2013) and a total of seven tackles in the Bears’ first two games.
Head coach Matt Rhule explained that Arnold’s unselfishness and willingness to do anything for the team are two traits that attest to his dedication, work ethic and overall character.
