He still holds the school records for single-game passing efficiency and average yards per completion. Arroyo played in the NCAA Division I record-setting game against Nevada in 2001, where he threw five touchdowns and the teams put up the score 64–45, which set the record for most total offense in a single game. Arroyo was the main starter for the Spartans until Scott Rislov took the job in 2002. Arroyo graduated from San Jose State in 2003 with a degree in kinesiology.
