Long, athletic linebacking prospect with special-teams juice
Vincent Starling brings a rangy 6-foot-3 frame, a Florida pedigree, and early-career special-teams value to South Dakota, where he was a 2020 top-100 outside linebacker prospect and appeared in 10 games in 2021 mainly on special teams, including two special-teams tackles at Western Illinois. His appeal is upside: size, speed, and a football bloodline with a brother on the roster, plus the kind of hard-nosed, developmental profile coaches love to mold. If you want a linebacker who can grow into a bigger role while helping in the kicking game, he’s worth a look.
