Former La Salle High School standout running back Jeremy Larkin had a breakout performance in front of a national audience Thursday night in Northwestern's 31-27 win against Purdue, televised on ESPN to kick off the college football season.
It had many people wondering: Is Larkin related to National Baseball Hall of Famer and former Cincinnati Reds great Barry Larkin?
Jeremy's father, Jeff Sr., is, in fact, a cousin of the Reds Hall of Fame shortstop.
Jeremy Larkin, a redshirt sophomore, rushed for 143 yards and two touchdowns and added four catches for 20 yards for the Wildcats on Thursday.
