About James Updated Jun 20, 2026

Colorado State LB Cory James brings production and disruption from the second level

Cory James stands out as a productive, physical linebacker with a proven knack for making plays behind the line: in his Colorado State season, he played all 13 games, started 12, and finished with 65 tackles, 2.0 sacks, and 10.0 tackles for loss.[5] At 6-3 and 215 pounds, he profiles as a length-and-range defender who can stress blocking schemes and contribute in multiple phases.[1] His value is that of a reliable, high-motor defender who already showed he can handle a full workload and create negative plays, making him a strong fit for teams wanting an active, assignment-aware LB.[5]
