From 1988 to 1990, Mike Arthur was the centerpiece of the Texas A&M football team. A three-year starter for the Aggies at center, Arthur was the leader of one of the best rushing attacks in Aggie history.
In 1990, Arthur earned All-American and consensus All-Conference honors at center, and was also a Semi-Finalist for the Outland Trophy that year, contributing to an Aggie offense that ranked 6th nationally with an average of 471.1 yards per game and 4th nationally in rushing offense with 319.1 yards per game – a SWC record. The ’90 season came to a close with a 65-14 dismantling of BYU in the Holiday Bowl, still the biggest blowout in postseason history.
Arthur’s achievements in college led to a solid professional career as an offensive lineman. Drafted in the 5th round by the Cincinnati Bengals, Arthur spent six seasons in the NFL with the Bengals, New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers.
