Purdue DE with proven disruption and NFL size
Austin Larkin stood out at Purdue as a physical edge defender who converted his size into real backfield production, finishing his 2017 season with 18 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks in 10 games with six starts. His calling card is straightforward: power, effort, and the ability to finish plays behind the line, which makes him more than a box-score player. For a team valuing a sturdy, high-motor defensive end with pass-rush upside, he profiles as a useful fit and a dependable rotational piece.[2][7]
