“They built the relationship with me quickly,” James told Inside Texas. “They showed interest. They really like me, especially (Mark) Orphey.”

James is ranked as the No. 570 overall prospect, the No. 64 safety, and the No. 74 player in Texas. Rivals ranks James as the No. 70 safety and the No. 90 player in Texas.

What put Texas at the top?

“They showed they really wanted me,” James said. “They’re not afraid to play freshmen. They think really highly of me being able to play all the DB positions and they don’t take many DBs.”

As the only current member of Texas’ 2027 class on defense, is there anyone he’s looking for?

“Trying to get my guy Brandon Sherrard over here,” James said.

James joins Royal in the Longhorns’ 2027 class. Texas’ 2027 class is not yet ranked.
