| James Starks |
His arrival happened week ago, while I was away.
What makes Starks standout is his time in the NFL. According to his bio, in 2008, Starks signed a free agent contract with the Cincinnati Bengals. An injury led him to play in Italy for the Ancona Dolphins. Before going pro, Starks was a two-time All-American at Capital University in Columbus, Ohio. In 2007, he was the Ohio Athletic Conference's defensive back of the year.
Post football, while earning a broadcast masters degree at Kent State University, Starks jumped into TV part-time at WOIO and Fox-8 in Cleveland as a sideline reporter and anchor.
Starks follows another KPRC recent sports hire, Simone Eli, who was also a college athlete.

James Starks exits KPRC 2
UPDATE
I forgot to mention that Starks replaces Nick Giovanni who left the KPRC sports department for WUSA in Washington DC. You know who else works at WUSA? Jan Jeffcoat. Houston TV viewers will remember her from the 2000s as the Fox 26 KRIV morning anchor.
