ESN PLAYER EVALUATION/NOTES
James is a special talent in the 2020 recruiting class. He has the ideal size at 6’5 240-pounds and is an incredible athlete. He strength is his speed off the edge and his ability to get to the QB. He also has long arms that can deflect passes and ward off big offensive lineman. He can set the edge, has excellent range on the outside, and has the agility to stop on a dime and change directions. He will drop back into coverage when needed. He has a lot of room to get even better.His ceiling is high! He needs to develop some more pass rush moves and learn to use his hands better. Power 5 recruit.
