Starks is a simple prospect, but such a force on the field to stop. He has quick and heavy hands. His swim move is his bread and butter, and with his play strength and quickness, it works well. He’s disciplined and works well within his gap. Starks is a complete player both as a pass rusher and a run stopped, and will be someone to look for as he heads into his senior campaign.

Justus Starks Justus Starks 6'1" | 260 lbs | DL Aliquippa | 2026 State PA rocks on film. The self-reported 6’0″ 260-pound defensive lineman has versatility, but he probably projects more like a 3T defensive tackle or maybe even a rangy 0/2i NT. Starks is the definition of “1 great move is better than 1000 okay moves.” His rip move he loves to throw which pairs well with his primary responsibility which is to gap down. Tark is violent and plays with heavy hands. In the run game, he’s efficient and doesn’t do too much, always follows his gap responsibility and when it’s time for him to make the play, he’s a sure tackler. Starks holds an offer from SFU and will probably earn a few more over the summer.

Justus Starks Justus Starks 6'1" | 260 lbs | DL Aliquippa | 2026 State PA is a good prospect at both offensive tackles and defensive line. At both positions, he shows good strength and athleticism. When Starks plays as an offensive tackle, he does a nice job of run blocking. He is a mauler who dominates defenders in the run game. In pass protection, he does an excellent job moving his feet. At defensive line he shows off his strength because offensive lineman has a hard time moving him off his spot. Starks also does a good job of using his hands to engage with offensive linemen and ripping through their arms. Then Starks shows an explosion by driving through an offensive lineman. Starks is a legit prospect on both sides of the ball.
