Larrow will flash some tools to catch your attention. He is a thickly built defensive end prospect and you could see him developing into a lighter defensive tackle. The thing that really grabs your eye with this kid is his ability to get off the ball. He is explosive out of his stance and displays the ability to consistently be the first one moving on the snap of the ball. You see his get-off and envision his ability to develop into a good and disruptive player. He is physical kid that will take on blocks and will flash the ability to play with solid pad level. He needs to be more active with his hands. While he is quick off the ball he tries too often to dip his shoulder and muscle past blockers. Because he does not consistently use his hands he will allow blockers to get into his chest. He can be pushed off the ball and will struggle to shed. Does an adequate job of being able to get low and hold his ground when a blocker is trying to wash him, but he at times will try and turn his back and stop movement. He has a good motor, but would like to see a little more once the ball is thrown. As a pass rusher he can pose some problems because he can getting moving so quickly. He can challenge a blocker with an up-field rush and will display the ability to dip some and turn the corner. Once again needs to use his hands more. He can get to the up-field shoulder of a tackle, but needs to throw a rip move or use his hands to help get turned and separate so he can get to the quarterback and not get washed by. He will flash the ability to be violent with his hands and you want to see that more. He is prone to being cut because he does use his hands. Larrow is an interesting prospect. He has good size and explosiveness. If he can develop the little things he has the ability to be a productive defender at the college level.
