since his freshman season and have evaluated him at several different positions, and all I can say is to just get this guy on the field. Tristian has proven in the past few seasons that he is a gamer who can excel wherever you put him, but might project best as a DB or RB. Tristian ended his junior season with 44 tackles, .5 TFLs, a fumble recovery, 208 rushing yards, 43 receiving yards, five rushing touchdowns, and two receiving touchdowns. As a DB, I am very impressed with his range and instinctive playmaking from the safety position. He reads the field very well and is quick to break on the ball with the closing speed to arrive in time to disrupt passes or make a play against the run. Good tackling safety who can make open field tackles. His speed crosses over to the offensive side very well, as he can explode through his gap and accelerate downfield in a flash. James possesses great vision and twitch that help him maneuver and make subtle cuts in tight quarters. Strong contact balance to stay upright as he battles through tackle attempts. We could see Tristian challenge for the Thunderbird’s QB1 spot next season as well, so keep an eye on that!
