Just one year ago, he was the No. 150 prospect nationally as a four-star out of Brentwood (Tenn.) Ravenwood — the school that produced former Clemson tight end Jake Briningstool. He is a native of Bloomington, Ill.
Starr appeared in nine games as a freshman.
Clemson offered Starr out of high school and even played host to an official visit in June.
Rivals national reporter Chad Simmons broke the news earlier this week that Starr would be visiting Clemson, and the Tigers should be construed as the favorites.
