The Buzz: The hard-hitting safety committed to FSU before he was a sophomore in high school, earning a scholarship offer by dazzling coach Jimbo Fisher and the Seminoles’ coaching staff with his physical maturity and athletic prowess during an offseason camp. James is related to former Miami running backs Edgerrin James and Mike James. Like his cousins, James played some running back in high school, as well as receiver, while also returning punts. Already enrolled at FSU, James is expected to push for the starting safety spot this spring after totaling 94 tackles and four interceptions in eight games.
