Scott Larkee - a 1999 Harvard graduate who was an All-Ivy League player with the Crimson - returned to his alma mater in 2007 for his second tour of duty as an assistant coach. In 2007 he worked with the team's running backs while serving as the program's recruiting coordinator. In 2008 he assumed the team's special teams coordinator position and also worked with the linebackers. In 2009 Larkee will serve as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach.

Larkee is responsible for recruiting the western United States including California, Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Idaho, Alaska, Utah, Oregon and Washington.

Larkee is hardly a stranger to Harvard as he previously served as an assistant coach for the Crimson's 2001 Ivy League championship team. He also was a standout linebacker as an undergraduate at Harvard.

Before returning to his alma mater, Larkee had been a graduate assistant at Boston College, helping the Eagles to back-to-back bowl appearances.

Larkee had a brief stint as a defensive assistant at Columbia, which came on the heels of a three-year tenure as an assistant at Division III Bates College. He served as the Bobcats' special teams coordinator, linebackers coach, and strength and conditioning coordinator from 2002-04.

Larkee's first year on the Harvard coaching staff was in the 2001 season, when he served as the positional coach for Harvard's outside linebackers and helped the Crimson to a 9-0 season and an outright Ivy League title.

Larkee also has served as an assistant at Bowdoin College for the 1999 & 2000 seasons and was a player coach with Les Cougars de St. Ouen l'Aumone (a French Club Team) in 2001.

Larkee graduated from Harvard in 1999 in third place on the Crimson's career tackles chart (243). He was a second-team All-Ivy League selection as a senior, making 98 tackles with six pass breakups, and was a starter on Harvard's 1997 Ivy League championship team. Larkee also was the winner of the team's Henry N. Lamar Award, given to the Harvard football senior who, through dedication to the program and concern for his fellow man, has made a unique contribution to the team.

Larkee holds a bachelor's degree in anthropology from Harvard, while he has completed course work toward an advanced degree in education at Boston College.

Larkee and his wife, former Crimson field hockey All-American Judy (Collins) Larkee '99, live in Norwood, Mass., with their daughter Shea (2) and son Sam (1).
