James makes the jump to the pro level a year early after an injury-plagued redshirt junior season in 2017. The time he did spend on the field with the Blue Raiders was fruitful, however. James helped MTSU along to two bowl appearances, which included being named the MVP of the Hawai’i Bowl following the 2016 season despite MTSU losing that game.
