Arnold Mickens


Recommended Posts

The education field and the Indiana Football Community lost a fine man this week  Arnold Mickens.  Arnold is a proven fact if you chase your dream it can be accomplished.  Right or wrong he was deemed not good enough to run the ball at Indiana at the time.  Arnold would transfer to Butler and would have tremendous success.  The NCAA record books for rushing once read 1) Sanders OSU 2) Allen USC  3) Mickens Butler.  Thing is he did his damage in only 2 seasons basically.  For such a good back his talents would be maximized at IPS as a coach and guidance counselor.  His boys are both in the IPS system working everyday to help young people.  Proven fact that it is what you become after you are done playing that really matters. RIP Arnold and Prayers to your family and students.

Sincerely

Mike Dowell

My father was Vice Principal at Broad Ripple when Arnold played there, so I got to see him several times in high school. My dad really liked him. 49 is too young!
