#10 Donnie Starks |
Position: Defensive Back Previous College: None Projection: Third-String Status: On Scholarship |
Donovan Starks (b. June 6, 1994) is a speedy defensive back who will compete for playing time at cornerback while contributing on special teams. While I don't expect him to start in 2014, he appears set to earn some playing time.
Starks originally was slated for a grayshirt in 2012, but the sudden glut of available scholarships resulting from mass defections from the last two recruiting classes opened a gaping void for him to step into.
He redshirted in 2012 and saw time in the Louisiana game in 2013, but did not record any statistics.
Starks was District 19-4A Newcomer of the Year as a sophomore at Crosby High School and an all-district cornerback as a senior. He had 189 solo tackles, 44 assisted tackles and six interceptions with a touchdown.
He also ran track for two years. You can watch his high school highlights here.
