James Durand

As a College Recruit

Well-rounded, athletic offensive lineman who is likely to slide inside at the college level. Measured at 6-foot-4.5, around 270-pounds prior to his junior season. Has plus length, particularly on the interior with a 6-foot-10 wing-span. An easy, light footed mover on the field, which is backed up by a strong 4.71 second shuttle time as a rising junior. Shows lateral agility and reactive quickness in pass protection. Moves to the second level to block linebackers and defensive backs with ease. Plays with a nasty streak and competitive nature. Can continue getting stronger but has the framework and hand strength that points to continued progression as he adds mass. May not be as dominant a finisher as some other top linemen at this stage, but has few discernible weaknesses. Also participates in track, where he has posted a very strong 161-9 foot mark in the discus.
