Draeland James brings veteran DB savvy, captain energy, and academic polish to Lafayette
In the 2016 season, Draeland James was a senior cornerback/safety leader for Lafayette, named a team captain after starting eight games in 2015 before a pair of injuries cut that year short. His value goes beyond raw stats: he’s been praised for his leadership, classroom consistency, and resilience after bouncing back from injury, and he also flashed playmaking ability with an interception in a 2015 conference win. If your team wants a tough, experienced defensive back who can help stabilize the secondary and set a professional tone, he fits the bill.
