Starling Thomas V brings sticky coverage and veteran edge to the UAB secondary
Starling Thomas V has long been valued for his coverage instincts, ball production, and toughness—at UAB, he built a reputation as a physical, competitive corner who can hold up in press and make quarterbacks pay for careless throws. In his final UAB seasons, he consistently stacked tackles and pass breakups, including 15 pass breakups in the 2021 season and 47 tackles with 6 passes defensed in the 2024 season. The bigger appeal is the feel: he plays with urgency, confidence, and experienced patience, making him a strong fit for teams that want an experienced corner who competes snap after snap.
