Alabama Football 2026: The Game-Changing Offensive Linemen You Didn’t See Coming – Part 2
Playstyle
James is a perfectly competent SEC left tackle, and that’s nothing to sneeze at. He’s quick off the snap and can mirror speed rushers well, cutting off any inside counters and generally running the outside rushers well back behind the QB. He’s also got a powerful first punch, knocking defenders backwards at first contact. He’s capable of handling the edge rushers on an island and in space, and when his team is rushing off tackle, he does a good job of jumping outside of the edge defender and blocking them back inside.
He can struggle a bit with sustaining blocks and didn’t do much straight ahead blocking in the Mississippi State scheme, but still is generally able to generate a decent amount of force with his initial block.
Scheme Fit and Prediction
I find James’s addition interesting. When he was first signed, I expected him to be viewed as an immediate starter at tackle. However, Grubb’s recent comments about Jackson Lloyd really stepping up at left tackle makes me wonder. Could James be the right tackle while Michael Carroll moves inside to guard?
