IPS Take On Claude Larkins: Larkins has a great frame, and physically, he gives State a ton of tools with which to work once he gets into the Wolfpack’s strength and conditioning program. In high school he shows the ability to beat the opposing offensive lineman and make plays in the backfield. Larkins does a great job of staying with and running down plays from behind.
