He became the first Tennessee State player to win the OVC Freshman of the Year award since 2011 and was also named a finalist for the Jerry Rice award.
In 2021, the Tigers back was named to the All-OVC Offensive second team in a season in which he put up 800 rushing yards and scoring three touchdowns.
Starling kicked off the 2022 season with the best performance of his career thus far recording 207 rushing yards against a then-nationally ranked Eastern Washington team.
