DeAnthony Arnett: The Journey Back Home
By Matthew Bontorin, MSU Athletic Communications Student AssistantDeAnthony Arnett’s path to Michigan State wasn’t a direct route from Saginaw to East Lansing. But his journey back home has made him appreciate playing for the Green and White even more.
As a senior at Saginaw High School, Arnett led the Saginaw Valley League with 42 receptions for 782 yards and eight touchdowns, earning him a spot in the U.S. Army All-America Bowl. The talented wide receiver received scholarship offers from nearly every major college football power in the country. With a dream of making it to the NFL, Arnett went with his gut and left the state of Michigan and committed to the University of Tennessee.
