There’s a reason senior Tashawn James Tashawn James 6'2" | DB Carl Albert | 2023 State OK is committed to Iowa State and considered one of the better prospects in the state’s 2023 class. He showed why yet again on Saturday as he was a two-way star for the Titans. He finished with a pair of catches for 35 yards and a touchdown on offense. He was also an absolute menace on defense. He had seven tackles, one of them coming for a loss and an interception on the afternoon. James might be one of the more underrated players in the state when you consider his talent and being apart of a championship team. But he comes into every game and just has a workman’s type approach where it doesn’t matter if he puts up numbers, he’s going to find a way to make an impact and that was on display once again on Saturday in Edmond.

We mentioned earlier that the Titans have a few players that will be playing power five football. One of those players is senior standout Tashawn James Tashawn James 6'2" | DB Carl Albert | 2023 State OK , who has been committed to Iowa State since June. On offense, James is a wide receiver who can put a lot of pressure on the defense even though the Titans primarily are a run-first offense. But then James turns around and is an absolute star on the defensive side of the ball at safety. James had a great performance against Grove and was once again a name that kept popping up in some of Carl Albert’s biggest games of the season. Whether it’s on offense or defense, James is a player to keep an eye on with the championship game coming up Saturday afternoon. James made plays in the semifinal win over Grove and he’s looking to do the same thing this weekend.

Another safety prospect that is committed to a Power Five school is Carl Albert’s Tashawn James Tashawn James 6'2" | DB Carl Albert | 2023 State OK . We’ve had the opportunity to check out James in person a few times this season and every time we’re more and more impressed. When it comes to the physical attributes and size of James, he immediately passes the eye test and it’s very easy to see why he’s one of the top safety prospects in the state and is headed to Iowa State. James and the Titans have size and speed every where on the defensive side of the ball and they’ll be pushing for another Class 5A state championship this season. We have a feeling that James will be on a short list of prospects when we look back at the 2023 class and wonder why they weren’t ranked even higher coming out of high school.
