Georgia Bulldogs safety Malaki Starks has announced that he will be competing in the workout portion of the NFL Combine.

The NFL Combine is underway in Indianapolis, Indiana. During the combine, numerous prospects participate in drills and events to showcase their athletic abilities and increase their draft stock. 

While the combine can be an excellent opportunity for prospects to exhibit their physical abilities, some players ultimately decide not to perform in certain physical aspects of the event. However, that will not be the case for former Georgia Bulldog Malaki Starks, as he has announced that he will be a full participant in the workout portion of the combine.

Since starting as a true freshman on Georgia's 2022 national championship team, Starks has been touted for his leadership and work ethic on top of his one-of-a-kind athletic abilities. During the 2024 season, he led the Dawgs in both solo and total tackles and is currently projected to be a first round pick in the NFL

Starks will compete in the workout portion of the combine with the defensive backs group on Friday, February 28th. Coverage for this event will begin around 3 p.m. and can be found on NFL Network.
