Utah State’s ballhawking, hard-hitting safety with pro-day juice
Ike Larsen enters 2026 as one of Utah State’s most recognizable defenders, pairing production with playmaking flair: in the 2025 season, he was listed as a senior safety and finished with 56 tackles, 3.0 tackles for loss, 5 pass breakups, 1 interception, and 1 QB hurry in eight games. He’s a good fit for teams that want a physical, instinctive safety who can erase space, attack the run, and flip momentum with big plays—plus he’s shown legit special-teams value and impressive agility/workout numbers in draft coverage. The only caution: he was already headed to the 2026 NFL Draft, so this is more “impact player to admire” than “future college pickup.”
