Datron James brings compact power and steady production to South Carolina State’s backfield
Datron James is a physical, downhill running back listed at 5-foot-10 and about 201–207 pounds who has already shown usable production for South Carolina State, including 533 rushing yards and 3 touchdowns on 123 carries with a 4.3-yard average in the season reflected by ESPN’s player profile. His fit is appealing if you want a sturdy, no-frills runner who can handle contact and keep the offense on schedule rather than a pure space player. He is a local South Carolina product from Fort Dorchester, which often signals familiarity with the program and region.[1][2][6]
