seasoned Spartan back with academic grit and proven burst
Naki James is a former Norfolk State running back whose most verifiable college impact came in the 2019 season, when he rushed 7 times for 42 yards in a road win at Howard and posted a long run of 27 yards. He’s the kind of player who earns trust the hard way: veteran presence, academic standout, and a clean, reliable depth piece rather than a headline-hogging stat machine. If you need a mature, assignment-sound back who can give you efficient snaps and won’t shrink from contact, he’s a respectable fit.
