- ScoutJames looks like a man playing among boys. He was physically one of the most impressive players on the field. He is powerful. He tends to go straight up when coming off the ball and tries to overpower the opposing player. He is a solid player who could become a dominant force at the next level.
Long Beach (Miss.) defensive tackle Nick James was the most impressive performer at his position. Holding early offers from Ole Miss and Tennessee, the 6-foot-5, 335-poud defender was a bull in pass rush drills. With his size and athleticism James is sure to receive offers from all over the country when all is said and done.
Assets: Massive upper body and superior strength.
Areas for improvement: He needs to continue working on different pass-rushing moves and watch his weight.
What was most impressive at combine: James clearly has gotten better with his hand placement since Top Gun this summer. He just overpowered the majority of his opponents in the one-on-one portion of this camp.
Conclusion: Currently has two SEC offers and looks perfect for any defense that is running the 3-4 defense because of his overall size and strength.
An active defensive tackle prospect was Nick James (Long Beach, Miss./Long Beach). While he did not look as big as listed, he was still tough to miss. He is a barrel-chested big man who flashed good explosion. He was active with his hands, tried to work moves and showed flashes of being able to be a disruptive player in the trenches.
