2026 NFL draft: Arizona Cardinals meet with Utah State S Ike Larsen

The safety position might not be a priority in the 2026 NFL draft for the Arizona Cardinals, but they have done their homework on some prospects. One player to watch either late in the draft on Day 3 or after the draft is complete when rookie free agents sign with teams is Ike Larsen.

Larsen played five seasons for Utah State. According to SI.com's Justin Melo, the Cardinals were one of the teams to meet with Larsen.

Larsen is 5-11 and 199 pounds with good testing numbers. He was not invited to the NFL combine, but at his pro day, he ran the 40 in 4.51 seconds and posted a 37-inch vertical leap and 121-inch broad jump.

He twice had four interceptions in a season. Last season, he had 56 tackles, three tackles for loss, an interception and five pass breakups. His best season was in 2023 when he had 103 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, four interceptions and six pass breakups.
