Larkin, 24, and premium sports drink BODYARMOR announced a partnership Wednesday, bringing Larkin into a roster of the some to most well-known athletes on the planet.

NFL stars Kyler Murray and Christian McCaffrey, two-time U.S. Open tennis champion Naomi Osaka, NBA players James Harden and Ja Morant, MLB’s Mookie Betts and Mike Trout, and soccer star Megan Rapinoe are just some of the athletes representing BODYARMOR.

Joining that list of athletes, and being affiliated with a brand that is closing in on $1 billion in retail sales by the end of 2020, excited Larkin.

“Absolutely, they are world-class athletes and a lot of them, most of them, are at the top of their sport,” Larkin said. “In conversations with BODYARMOR and with my agent, I said I want to be at that level and strive to be one of the best in my sport.

“It’s very much an honor to be part of that list of athletes.”
