After his senior year, he was named the 1996 Parade National Player of the Year, Bobby Dodd National High School Back of the Year the Gatorade Player of the Year and USA Today Pennsylvania Player of the Year.

He became the second player in Pennsylvania Class 4-A history to rush for more than 4,000 career yards, with 4,357 on 711 carries and 72 touchdowns.

1997

He played in the 1997 Big 33 Football Classic, the annual game between Pennsylvania and Ohio's best high school football players.

In basketball, he was recruited to play basketball for Georgetown, UMass, and North Carolina.

Also a standout sprinter, Arrington was on the school's track & field team, where he recorded personal-best times of 10.85 seconds in the 100 meters and 23.14 seconds in the 200 meters.

He also had top-jumps of 1.96 meters in the high jump and 6.76 meters in the long jump.

While attending Penn State University, Arrington played for coach Joe Paterno's Penn State Nittany Lions football team from 1997 to 1999.

His signature play with the Nittany Lions came during a game against Illinois.

On a fourth and short yardage play, Arrington anticipated the snap count and jumped over the offensive line to tackle the runner in the backfield.

The play became known as "The LaVar Leap".

1998

He was an All-Big-Ten selection, a first-team All-American in 1998, and a consensus first-team All-American in 1999.

1999

Arrington's tendency for spectacular plays and his cover appearance on the Sports Illustrated 1999 College Football Preview Issue led many to mention him as a possible Heisman Trophy candidate.

Arrington received several honors during his college career, including the Chuck Bednarik Award, Dick Butkus Award, and Lambert Award in 1999.

Arrington finished ninth in balloting for the 1999 Heisman Trophy.

He left Penn State after his junior season to enter the NFL draft.

2000

He played college football for the Penn State Nittany Lions and was selected with the second overall pick by the Washington Redskins of the 2000 NFL Draft.

He was also a member of the New York Giants.

Arrington was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

He played linebacker and running back at North Hills Senior High School in Pittsburgh.

The Washington Redskins chose Arrington with the second overall pick, in the 2000 NFL Draft, and he played for the Redskins from 2000 to 2005.

After four seasons with the Redskins, Arrington signed an eight-year, $68 million contract extension.

His agent Carl Poston was accused of neglecting to inspect the final revision of the contract, in which $6.5 million worth of bonuses contained in earlier drafts were missing.

Poston was eventually suspended for two years by the National Football League Players' Association (NFLPA) over the mishandling of Arrington's contract; Arrington did not support the NFLPA's decision.

Arrington's final two seasons with the Redskins was marred by knee injuries and conflicts with coaches Joe Gibbs and Gregg Williams.

Arrington's agent Kevin Poston initially stated that his client intended to play during the 2007 NFL season, saying "things could change at some point, but as of this moment LaVar is focused on playing this season."

However, on June 18, 2007, Arrington was involved in a serious motorcycle accident in suburban Maryland.

He was issued two citations, one for failure to control speed to avoid a collision, the other for operating a vehicle without a class license that contributed to a crash.

A September 23, 2007, New York Daily News article confirmed his retirement.

Arrington started working on pregame and postgame shows for Comcast SportsNet before the Redskins' 2007 season week 3 loss to the Giants.
