Houston OL Al James is a veteran anchor with real program pedigree
Al James brings Houston a proven interior-line presence with strong Cougars pedigree: he earned Conference USA All-Freshman Team honors in the 2000 season after starting nearly all year at center, and later landed on Houston’s all-decade offensive line. That kind of résumé signals toughness, consistency, and line-call savvy—exactly what an offense wants in the trenches. If you need a dependable, experienced tone-setter who can stabilize an offensive front, James looks like a fit; the big question is whether his current form matches that old-school reliability.
