Arthel attended Weller/Bingham Elementary where he played Mighty Mites football, baseball for The Boys and Girls Club, BSNF-Hoopsters basketball team led by Ernie Bedell, Garland Thomas and Nate Adams and started his journey with OFL football. Arthel learned to play offensive and defensive football only because Mighty Mites said he couldn't play unless he played offense, due to him sending kids off the field for athlete injuries and parental complaints.  May 4th, 2008, Arthel was baptized by Dr. Maurice Tate PHD at Washington Ave Baptist Church in Springfield, MO where he attended with his Aunt Tonia Greenhill.  He went on to attend Pipkin Middle School where he also played basketball and football.
