Calvin Starks Jr 5'8'165LBS RB/Slot Dallas COunty HS (AL) - ALl-American Report

Calvin Starks is one of the most explosive players in the Southern corridor of America I have witnessed, as he is able to change direction, abruptly accelerate up field and leave defenders in the dust! Starks was selected after the outstanding student-athlete Edward Moore Jr. sent his info to Scout Trout, and after I watched this extremely dynamic speed back, I had no choice but to give him the last spot for Scout Trout's WB/Slot position which will be utilized heavily in the screen and option game. The ability to find the cut-back lane and make defenders miss while maintaining rapid forward progress is extremely valuable at moving the chains and producing huge plays at the next level. Starks shows uncanny ability in the screen game and first secures the catch, as seen at around :42 seconds into his highlights and is able to scamper quickly with nearly impeccable field vision downfield for a touchdown. Calvin shows great power moves as well, when moving downfield and exhibits a beautiful still arm a few plays later and is able to barrel forward for extra yards. Starks is also a very explosive return man and at any given time can take the football all the way to the house, which will ignite whatever crowd is observing this spectacular talented student-athlete!  The best run of the film comes at 1:25 into his film, where Starks reminds me of Barry Sanders in the way he is able to dance in tight quarters and instantaneously fight through defenders to break to pay-dirt once again. His ability to break tackles can be seen on the next play and many others throughout this film. What I like the most about Starks is he never stops moving his feet, which makes him extremely hard to tackle and is why he has been selected for the Scout Trout All-American Class of 2018 All-American Bowl Game!
