Background

Early life

James grew up in Mobile, Alabama and attended Spanish Fort High School. He was rated a three-star recruit and initially committed to play college football at Mississippi State. James later flipped his commitment to Oregon.

College career

James began his college career at Oregon. He had 46 tackles, two interceptions, and four passes broken up as a junior. Following the season, James entered the NCAA transfer portal.

James ultimately chose to transfer to Auburn. He was named second-team All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) in his first season with the Tigers after making 37 tackles with one interception and eight passes broken up.

James had his signature moment when playing against the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers, when he got his first interception for the Tigers and returned it 27 yards for a touchdown, cutting in front of the quarterback, Austin Reed. James ran through the middle and followed his blockers to flip into the end zone for a pick-six.
