Larkin worked with the Buckeyes’ quarterbacks this season and drew a shoutout from Ohio State quarterback Will Howard during Ohio State’s champions press conference on Tuesday.
“If it weren’t for me coming here to Ohio State and getting developed by Coach Day and Coach Kelly and Billy Fessler and Riley (Larkin) and all the guys in that room, man, I really wouldn't be the player that I am right now,” Howard said Tuesday.
