Jeremy Larkin was a dynamic, versatile Northwestern running back whose 2018 start flashed real impact—346 rushing yards, 127 receiving yards, and 5 touchdowns in just three games—before spinal stenosis ended his playing career for medical reasons.

If you’re evaluating him as a player, the answer is that his on-field ceiling was promising; if you’re asking fit today, he is no longer an active football option and is better known now for his transition into coaching.
