UCLA BIG TEN BODY TYPE: REACTING TO 6’3 ROB LARSON JUNIOR TAPE

UCLA Football TV keeps rolling through the 2027 class and today we’re locking in on Rob Larson, the 6’3, 200‑pound wideout from Folsom who chose UCLA over Washington, Wisconsin, Cal, Illinois, and Vanderbilt. This is a full film‑room reaction to his junior tape, and the question is simple: did Bob Chesney just add another true Big Ten body to UCLA’s receiver room? Across nearly 15 minutes we watch Larson work from the slot and outside, stacking DBs, catching tough balls over the middle, and repeatedly flashing that one‑handed back‑shoulder grab that shows up again and again. You see the physicality on blocks, the willingness to take hits without dropping the rock, the breakaway speed once he clears the second level, and the “dog” factor that makes 82 catches, 1,146 yards, and 18 TDs feel very real. By the end, we’re talking less about his current 3‑star tag and more about how his hands, frame, and toughness fit exactly what Chesney wants UCLA to be in the Big Ten.
