After graduating from Lehigh in 2003 and joining the Philadelphia Eagles as a pro personnel intern, Larkins worked at the FCS level for Holy Cross, Wagner, The Citadel, Jacksonville State and Bethune-Cookman from 2004-2018. He joined Jim Harbaugh's staff at Michigan in 2019, serving as a defensive analyst before becoming a special teams analyst and working with Wolverine safeties during the 2020 season.
Â
Larkins was Michigan's director of recruiting during a 2021 season in which the Wolverines made the College Football Playoff and finished 12-2. That year, in the summer of 2021, he also spent time in the Jacksonville Jaguars' scouting department after being a recipient of a Nunn-Wooten Scouting Fellowship.
Â
He joined Lane Kiffin's staff at Ole Miss for the 2022 season, serving as a lead analyst who worked with safeties during an 8-5 season for the Rebels.

Larkins coached against Samford in the SoCon as an assistant coach at The Citadel from 2006-13, a stretch in which he had two players drafted to the NFL: wide receiver/punt returner Andre Roberts (third round in 2010) and cornerback Cortez Allen (fourth round in 2011). Larkins spent the following season on John Grass’ staff at Jacksonville State, mentoring All-American cornerback Jermaine Hough, before moving on to serve as Bethune-Cookman's recruiting coordinator and special teams coordinator from 2015-18.
