Armstrong played last season at Riverside City College (CA), where he appeared in eight games and had 19 total tackles (13 solo), five pass break-ups, one fumble recovery, and three interceptions (all in the same game). As a freshman qualifier Armstrong is immediately eligible to play for the Cougars without having to sit out a year as a JC transfer.
Armstrong prepped at Redlands East Valley High School (CA), where as a senior he had 58 tackles (40 solo), seven pass deflections, two fumble recoveries, one blocked field goal, and THIRTEEN (not a typo) interceptions, which broke the school single season and career records. One of those picks was returned for a touchdown. His 13 picks also broke the Inland Southern California for interceptions in a single season. He was selected as the All-Area Defensive Player of the Year and to the Division II First-team.
Armstrong had scholarship offers to Army and Navy out of High School but failed to qualify academically and ended up at RCC, where he was able to bring his grades back up to qualify for D1 programs. He was also recruited by Sacramento State and UC-Davis.
