58: Zach Larsen, OL (Sr.) — Southern Utah
Larsen has been performing at an All-American level since his sophomore year in 2017. HERO Sports named him a sophomore All-American, and he earned All-American honors from STATS and Phil Steele as well. Larsen was a 2018 All-American for Walter Camp and Phil Steele. He added First Team All-Big Sky Conference honors both years.
At 6-foot-1 and 305 pounds, Larsen is a punishing blocker from his center spot. Putting him as a preseason First Team All-American was an easy choice for us.
"It's crazy that it's my senior year, it's hard to believe it's gone this fast, but I wouldn't have it any other way," Larsen said. "I love SUU. I'm glad that I can be in this position to lead this team and I hope I can help them out any way I can."
