Many players would be satisfied with a resume that includes starting in every game as a freshman or becoming a consensus All-American as a sophomore. But most players aren't Malaki Starks. He isn't satisfied with being great. He wants to be legendary. “As far as my game, I want to take it to the next level whether that be anything and everything really,” Starks said ahead of the 2024 season. “Vision. Tackling. Playing the ball. Whatever the case may be, I want to take it to the next level.” And he has that potential, according to former UGA standout Kamari Lassiter. “He’s so refined already at a pretty young age,” Lassiter said. “I mean now the only thing Malaki has left to do is just start working more into a leadership role, you know to take over and become a big-time leader. He’s already in the works of doing that. I feel in order to be comfortable and be content with his college years, he should be definitely be able to take that next big-time leader role. I know that’s what he’s going to do because he a big-time player.”

Like Landon Collins, Malaki Starks is an elite athlete who was a two-way star at the high school level before ultimately projecting to safety at the college level.
