A former four-star prospect coming out of Avon (Ind.) High in the 2019 recruiting class, James was the No. 10-ranked running back in the class and the third-best player in the state. James initially committed to Ohio State but backed off of his commitment in October 2018. Just two months later, James signed with Indiana.
As a true freshman in 2019, James ran for 275 yards and three touchdowns on 81 carries. His workload decreased as a sophomore, though, as James ran for a mere 96 yards on 32 carries in 2020.
