Andrew Arriola brings disruptive interior juice to UTRGV’s front
In the 2025 season, Andrew Arriola recorded 4 total tackles and 1 sack for UT Rio Grande Valley, flashing the kind of compact, sturdy DL profile coaches like to plug into run fits and pressure packages. He’s a 6-foot-1, 270-pound sophomore from Redlands, California, and his high school track record was loud: 103 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, 5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles and 3 recoveries in 2022. The fit? He looks like a physical, high-motor interior piece who can collapse space and fight through traffic—useful if you want toughness more than highlight-reel flash.
