Starks was born in Orlando, Florida. He attended Orlando Christian School for sixth to eighth graders, where he played basketball and volleyball for the OCS Knights. As an eighth grader he wore size 15 shoes—when he had a difficult time finding shoes that fit he borrowed shoes from NBA star Shaquille O'Neal, who played at the time for the Orlando Magic For high school, Starks attended Lake Highland Preparatory School, a private prep school in Orlando, where he is the only high school football player in the history of the Highlanders to become a pro athlete. He was one of the state's top offensive linemen in 1999, and was named to Super Prep's, National Bluechips and Prep Star's high school All-America teams, and a USA Today honorable mention All-American. He was a two-time all-conference selection in basketball.
"That's how you approach it no matter who is running the ball. It doesn't get any easier or harder if one person is running or the other. If we do our job, anybody can be successful."
"Our job is to go out there and make sure the defensive line doesn't touch him, make sure the linebacker don't hit him and let the chips fall. It starts up front and we have to do our job."
"I was nervous at first, but after the first couple of plays it was like playing a game in high school or college. You just go out and play and block the guy in front of you."
"I thought we did a lot of things well. But there's always something you can improve on. For us, just little things. Technical things, trying to finish every play, getting on the right guy and staying on him, there's always little things, reading the coverage."
"By the time I was ready to go (back in), Willie (Parker) was running down the sideline (45 yards). They didn't need me."
"No. 1, he's that height and if he gets down lower that's less target space to hit on, ... It forces you to stay in that uncomfortable 90-degree squat stance while shuffling, while using your hands. Through the course of the game it wears on you and you start to get higher and higher by the end. At that point, he's able to run under guys or get good enough technique that he can get under their pads and push them backward."
"We can't wait to get him out there."
"They're not going to be able to keep eight in the box if Ben is in there, so it's something we're looking forward to."
"I'm not going to say he's a marked man. But after the game, we'll be looking for him to see if he's going to direct the band again."
"He told us we're not going just to be there. Nobody remembers who loses."
