Alex James brings proven SEC-level upside and downhill depth to SC State’s backfield
Alex James is a **compact, physical runner** with Power-conference pedigree, arriving at South Carolina State after transferring from Coastal Carolina, where he was a two-star all-purpose back out of Florence, S.C.[1][4][6] His current production at SC State has shown usable volume but modest efficiency—ESPN lists him with **92 carries for 344 yards and 2 touchdowns**—so the appeal is less splashy stat lines and more his frame, versatility, and potential to stabilize a run game in a MEAC setting.[7] If your team wants a back who can handle contact, compete for snaps, and offer upside as a multi-use piece, he’s worth a look.[4][7]
