Recruiting: 5-star Malaki Starks to pick between Alabama, Clemson and Georgia on Thursday

Malaki Starks is ready to make Alabama, Clemson or Georgia football fans very happy.

Five-star athlete Malaki Starks will pick between the Alabama football program, the Clemson football team or stay in-state to make the Georgia football faithful ecstatic heading into the weekend.

Starks sent out a video message on Twitter Tuesday afternoon, letting us know he will be picking between one of these college football blue-bloods on Thursday afternoon.

He said that he likes Alabama, well, because they’re Alabama.

Starks mentioned he is a big fan of the culture in place in Clemson. He wrapped up his segment by saying every time he goes to Athens, it feels like home.

What college football team will get Malaki Starks’ commitment?

According to the 247Sports Composite, Starks is the No. 4 athlete in the country, the No. 4 player from Georgia and the No. 29 overall prospect in the 2022 recruiting cycle. Charles Kelly is serving as his primary recruiter to Alabama, while Glenn Schumann is serving in the same capacity for Georgia. So what elite college football program will land the Jefferson, Georgia native on Friday?

Of the two predictions made on where Starks will end up, both have him projected to be heading to the Dawgs. Jefferson, Georgia is within the Athens metro area. Then again, he is from the same northeast part of the state that does venture into Clemson territory. Because Starks was very calculated in listing all three of his finalists in alphabetical order, he could end up at any of them.

We will know by Thursday evening where Starks will be playing his college football.
