Strengths – College size is something Larkin immediately has when he steps onto the playing field and over the past year, the Raptors O-lineman has done a good job of forming his body and bringing it to a place that has D1 and Power Programs looking in his direction. Brute strength and moving his man off the ball is Larkin’s calling card right now as he does a good job at using his big hands to lock on to his defender and drive him back to the 2nd level. He is a mauler that can physically take over his man and drive him down field or place him on the ground with a pancake. This Mid-Tennessee product is a naturally strong young man that has the potential to manhandle his opponents. Larkin does show potential to play tackle on the next level with continued work on the field but his biggest upside may reside inside at guard where he can open up holes in the run game and provide pass blocking from the interior. Looking at his film and watching his progression over the last year, you can see why D1 schools have offered and are in pursuit of this 6’6 285 pound trench monster. 
 

Development – Agility, bend and explosion are the first three traits that immediately stand out to me when it comes to Larkin’s development and him reaching his maximum potential on the collegiate gridiron. I think all three of those traits are something Larkin is aware of as well, that’s why he has worked hard on forming his body, so he can develop further athleticism. This is a good athlete though as Larkin can dunk a basketball but with added agility and explosion, the potential to play tackle remains in the cards. 
 

Overview – This guy could turn out to be a “safe” prospect to sign due to his size, line versatility and willingness to work and improve every step of the way. Larkin has dedicated himself in a big way to football over the past year, taking his game to another level and clearly placing himself on the map as a top O-lineman from our #TN2025 class. The Raptors senior mauler is still growing and developing into his body, so I feel Larkin is continuing to form into the lineman he will be on the college stage. He may need more time to enhance his athleticism and agility to hang on the outside but long term wise, Larkin could be a strong addition due to his physicality and ability to play multiple positions across the O-line.

A massive young man with O-line versatility, Larkin is a large dude that started to show his potential this off-season by displaying clean footwork and the ability to stand up his defender with power as well as provide a glimpse of a possible future on the collegiate gridiron. The Raptors junior O-lineman looks and fits the part of an offensive guard but has shown enough lower base agility to handle right tackle if needed. He sports powerful hands, so when he locks on, it’s over but Larkin can also move his feet good enough to stay in front of the pass rush as well. He needs to continue working on his agility and bend as well as keep forming his body but the physical tools are there to watch his recruitment take off sooner than later.
