Another dynamic and productive back in North Georgia, James is one of the best backs in the Cartersville area and is one of the leading returning backs in region this upcoming season. The 5-foot-11 180-pounder brings plenty of size and above-average speed, taking off for over 1,000 yards and 11 touchdowns, rushing for at least 100 yards in five games.
