Offensive Line | 6'5 | 300
Arlington HS | Arlington, Tenn.
Arlington Head Coach Chris Wiley
"James has everything you'd want in a football player: a big, athletic guy, great leader and solid citizen.
"As our left tackle, James was a very athletic guy with great feet. He had the strength to get good push and the long, rangy arms to get his hands on defenders. In short yardage situations, we went toward James."
"Being a basketball player here, I can't wait to see James when he gets in a football-only program. He's going to get a lot stronger and has a chance to become an outstanding player at Vanderbilt."
