Starks attended Jefferson High School in Jefferson, Georgia. He was ranked by ESPN as the No. 12 recruit in college football's class of 2022.[1] In October 2021, he committed to play college football for Georgia.[2][3][4]
As a true freshman, Starks emerged Georgia's starting free safety.[5] In a game against Missouri, Starks made a tackle that was later cited by head coach Kirby Smart as being the key play of the game.[6] At the end of the season, he was named to Pro Football Focus's PFF True Freshman All-America team.[7]
