Personal
Coaches regard Kaleb Larkin as a phenomenal wrestler, an unbelievable student, and an amazing person. In 2019, he was an NHSCA runner-up and Greco Nationals fourth-place finisher in Fargo. He earned a sixth-place finish at the '21 Junior World Team Trials Freestyle. Larkin has big goals in life and will be a second-generation Sun Devil after his father, Eric, was a four-time All-American and the 2003 149-lb national champion.
