James gets down and dirty on both sides of the ball. He contributed 9.5 tackles with 1.5 stops for loss and half a sack while roaming the second level of the defense last season. Where James really stood out, however, was when operating in the middle of the O-Line. We see that production when viewing his junior highlight video. James is a mauler at center. He comfortably and consistently gets the ball back to the quarterback before blasting off into the pads of the D-Lineman. The opponent often is back on his heels early, and James leverages his way into pancakes. With athleticism and agility, he easily reaches blocks in space and shows good technique when engaging defenders in the open field. James is a guy deserving of more attention on the recruiting trail.
