James Durand looks like a sturdy, battle-tested anchor for Western Illinois up front
In the 2025 season, James Durand started all 12 games on the offensive line for Western Illinois, a strong sign of trust, durability, and steady development after arriving from Wisconsin. At 6-foot-4 and 305 pounds, he has the frame you want in an interior lineman, and his background as a four-star recruit with all-state honors in high school points to real upside. He looks like a fit for a team that values toughness, consistency, and a line built on no-drama execution—less flash, more trench work, which is exactly the good stuff.
