Tate Starr is a powerful, two-way midfielder who brings size, speed, & a big lefty sidewinder rip to the middle of the field. A stretch shooter by nature, Tate utilizes a heavy step-down with the ability to change hands, angles, & finish on the run. At his best, Starr is a downhill dodger who physically imposes himself on short sticks & doesn’t shy away from a slide or double team. He’s comfortable initiating, using rollbacks, rockers, & hesitations to create separation before uncorking high-velocity shots. Tate shows the ability to finish with his right hand when defenses overplay his strong side & he can be particularly effective in pairs or two-man action. Starr uses his athleticism to play fast without forcing the issue. Defensively, his on-ball work stands out, using his size & foot speed to be disruptive. Tate is smart & effective in transition, which makes him a tough assignment. After returning to full health over the past year, Starr looks primed to assert himself as a true all-around midfield presence for the Big Red. He is verbally committed to Virginia.
