The I-5 10: Grant Starck comes home*

After three years at Nevada, the two-time 5A state champion is back in Oregon and forcing his Duck dad to reconsider his allegiances

Justin Starck wears an Oregon State hat now.

To be fair, he’s as surprised about it as you are. The Thurston High School football coach and athletic director is a Duck, after all. He spent two seasons on Oregon’s offensive line in the early 1990s, raised his two boys in a household filled with UO memorabilia and family Saturday’s were spent using their season tickets at Autzen Stadium.

Of course it was his oldest son Grant’s dream to play there some day, too. 

Was.

Back to the hat.

“We have fully transformed as a family,” Justin said.  

See, Grant Starck is now a Beaver.
