In 2024, he totaled 40 tackles (19 solo and 21 assisted), two pass breakups, two forced fumbles, and one interception in seven games before he suffered a season-ending injury in October.

Arnold is one of multiple Eagles to sign deals as an undrafted free agent, joining running back Kye Robichaux, who signed with the Detroit Lions, defensive tackle Cam Horsley, who signed with the Tennessee Titans, and offensive lineman Jack Conley, who signed with the New England Patriots. 

Boston College also had three selections in the 2025 NFL Draft over the weekend, defensive end Donovan Ezeiruaku, who was picked by the Dallas Cowboys at No. 44 in the second round, offensive lineman Ozzy Trapilo, who was drafted by the Chicago Bears at No. 56 in the second round, and Drew Kendall, who was taken by the Philadelphia Eagles at No. 168 in the fifth round.
