Andrew James brings Olympic-level speed to Wisconsin’s WR room
A freshman wideout from Cardinal Gibbons, Andrew James arrives at Wisconsin as a three-star recruit with a rare track pedigree: he won 400-meter gold at the 2014 U.S. Summer Youth Olympics in 48.25 and also earned bronze in the 200 meters, hinting at real game-breaking acceleration. The Badgers list him at 6-0, 166 pounds, so he looks built more for separation than collision, which makes him an intriguing fit if Wisconsin wants a vertical threat who can stretch defenses and create chunk plays. His biggest calling card is explosiveness; his biggest question is how quickly that speed translates to Big Ten physicality.
