Youngstown State’s Avery Larkin brings veteran secondary value and reliable tackling
Avery Larkin projects as a steady, experienced defensive back for Youngstown State, with game snaps in the secondary and a history of earning starts in the 2017 season, when he played in eight games and made six starts while recording 12 tackles, nine solo. He’s the kind of safety/corner hybrid who adds lineup flexibility, communication value, and trust in coverage rather than flash. Based on the available roster and stat profile, he looks like a useful fit for a defense that prizes discipline, tackling, and dependable depth in the back end.
