Expert Analysis
Connor Jackson | Prep Redzone Scout
A couple of in-state FBS offers got the ball rolling for James this offseason. Listed at 5’11 180, and plays bigger. He runs hard, consistently shearing his way off contact and flashing impressive contact balance. His ability to restart runs is impressive, and I would consider that the basis of intrigue here. He is a solid athlete with good twitch in the short areas, but I think it’s his motor and work against contact is what catches my eye.

A tough, physical, tackle-breaking back with good size and great balance, James runs like a bowling ball and was tough to wrap up all season long for opposing defenders. However, he’s more than just a power back. James brings above-average athleticism to the position and brings impressive speed for someone his age. He’s one of the top returning running backs in the area and one of the top 2028 backs in North Georgia. He has Power Four potential and is in store for an impressive sophomore season. He’s now ranked as the No. 17 RB and the No. 124 overall prospect in the state.

One of the top freshman running backs in North Georgia last year, James is a tackle-breaking back with a promising 5-foot-11 180-pound frame. He shows quick feet, change of direction, and knows how elude defenders in the open field. He shows impressive vision for someone his age and runs really hard. He didn’t play like a freshman last season and had no problem impressive and making a big impact in his first season. He’ll be an easy addition to the next 2028 Prep Redzone rankings and has a chance to light up the stat sheet as a sophomore this fall.
