With Larkin on board, Northwestern is set at the running back position for years to come.
It was difficult to miss him. The white No. 20 jersey of John Moten darted through holes. It flew down the sideline. It plunged into the far end zone of Northwestern's practice field at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside in Kenosha, Wis.
Every single report coming out of the program this past August about Moten, a freshman running back from Missouri, was a positive one. He's a great kid. He's a talented runner. He's powerful. He's agile. He was one of the standout performers in that intrasquad scrimmage up in Kenosha.
