Arroyo's profile across his three URC appearances is defined by his defensive output, averaging five tackles per match and peaking at eight in a single game — a consistent commitment at the breakdown and in open play. His carrying is minimal, rarely used as a ball-carrier, with under two carries per match and negligible metres gained. He functions primarily as a defensive specialist within Benetton's forward structure rather than an offensive threat.
