Expert Analysis

Matt DeBary

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

A new Georgia transfer from Florida, James is a big, physical quarterback at 6-foot-5 185-pounds who showed a lot of promise this spring during McEachern’s spring game. As a junior last year for St. Augustine (FL), James threw for 2,799 yards and 36 touchdowns, completing 66% of his passes while rushing for 258 more yards and five scores on the ground. He shows above-average arm talent and is loaded with dynamic playmakers around him. He was an easy addition to the latest rankings update with the potential to have a gigantic senior season for the Indians this fall.

James is a newcomer at QB for McEacher, and while this fall will be his first introduction to GAHSFB, you can’t argue with his traits, and he brings over plenty of production from Florida. He is a tall, lean, athletic player with a long, natural delivery. He gets easy life on the ball and is a fleet mover once he gets rolling in space. This McEachern squad is loaded, and how James performs could ultimately be the X factor for the Indians this fall.

Brenton James Brenton James 6'5" | 185 lbs | QB McEachern | 2027 State GA transferred into McEachern this offseason, and there is hope that his play can push them over the edge by making a state championship push. He certainly doesn’t have a lack of talent around him to work with. Extract him from the tools around him, and he is a good prospect in his own right. He is a long, skinny player with a lot of space to fill out. Whippy, over-the-top delivery with natural buzz on the ball. He has a calm demeanor in the pocket with speed and strides to take off and move the chains. He might not have as much juice, but the body type and delivery reminds me of Deuce Knight.
