Malaki Starks is making his mark on this 2022 Georgia defense

The homegrown freshman phenom out of Jefferson, Georgia Malaki Starks has exploded onto the college football scene in the first five games of his college career.

Starks was a highly-touted five-star recruit coming out of high school and was especially recognized for his insane athleticism. Before settling into the defensive back position at Georgia, he played quarterback, running back, linebacker, and safety at Jefferson High. Although he’s just a first year, Starks is already used to making plays on both sides of the ball.

What really started the Starks hype-train was his interception against Oregon in the Dawg’s season opener at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
