D.J. James, Auburn, Player News
|
Two weeks after Zac Etheridge announced he was "here to stay" as one of Auburn's assistant coaches, two of his top players from last fall followed suit. D.J. James announced his decision to return for a second season with the Tigers on New Year's Eve, wh ile fellow cornerback Nehemiah Pritchett did the same two days later. The decisions by James and Pritchett weren't entirely unexpected - the two had ongoing conversations with Etheridge and the rest of the staff since the season ended - but they marked c onsiderable offseason wins for new Auburn coach Hugh Freeze and his staff heading into Year 1. "Obviously, they created a lot of value for themselves with their play and what they did on the field, but a reality, the experience that they have and to be a ble to come back to a group and not losing anyone in the secondary - I mean, it's been obviously huge to us because the leadership back should be a great experience. But having those two guys back help us on the outside."In James and Pritchett, Au burn returns both of its starting corners from last season. James arrived at Auburn last offseason after starting his career at Oregon, and the Mobile native acclimated himself well in his return to his home state as he established himself as one of the top corners in the SEC in 2022. The 6-foot-1, 174-pounder had 38 total tackles, with 25 solo stops and one tackle for a loss. He had one interception, which he returned for a touchdown during Auburn's home finale against Western Kentucky, and he tied Pri tchett for the team lead with eight pass breakups while earning second-team All-SEC honors from the Associated Press and the league's coaches. - Birmingham News

Auburn's secondary is receiving a big boost heading into the new year. Cornerback D.J. James announced Saturday he will return to Auburn for one more season, bolstering the Tigers' secondary for first-year coach Hugh Freeze and new defensive coordinator Ron Roberts. The 2022 season was James' first on the Plains after he transferred from Oregon. The 6-foot-1, 174-pound Mobile native was one of the SEC's top corners this past season. He posted 38 total tackles this past season, including 25 solo stops an d one behind the line of scrimmage. He had one interception, which he returned for a touchdown against Western Kentucky in the season's penultimate game, and he tied fellow cornerback Nehemiah Pritchett for the team lead in passes broken up. Both startin g corners finished the year with eight pass breakups.James earned second-team All-SEC honors from the AP and the league's coaches. James, a former standout at Spanish Fort, started his college career at Oregon after signing with the Ducks as a thr ee-star prospect in the 2019 class. He spent three seasons in Eugene, Ore., totaling 70 tackles, two interceptions and six pass breakups for the Ducks. James' return for the 2023 season provides a boost for Auburn's secondary, which is also set to return key contributors Jaylin Simpson, Keionte Scott and Donovan Kaufman, among others. Pritchett, a senior in 2022, has yet to announce his plans for the future. He received a Senior Bowl invitation in November but still has a year of eligibility remaining. - Birmingham News

Oregon Ducks defensive backs Jamal Hill and DJ James were charged in municipal court on Tuesday in connection with their alleged involvement in shooting an airsoft gun in downtown Eugene earlier this month. Hill and James were both charged with two count s of reckless endangering, two counts of disorderly conduct and unlawful discharge of a firearm, according to online court records, which show neither has entered a plea on any of the charges. They are both scheduled for trial on Sept. 8.Reckless endangering and disorderly conduct are misdemeanors and unlawful discharge of a firearm is a city ordinance violation. Eugene police said at 11:44 p.m. on Aug. 3 a man reported being shot in the face with a "realistic-looking airsoft gun at 14th and Will amette by someone in a sedan that had driven past him." Two other people reported similar incidents in a close time and proximity. One, riding an electric scooter, claimed he was "almost hit by the vehicle as it left the area," according to police, who s potted the vehicle nearby and later cited Hill and James each for three charges of reckless endangering, assault, unlawful discharge of a firearm, and disorderly conduct. - The Oregonian

In many ways, DJ James is exactly on schedule. Oregon was expecting to have Thomas Graham Jr. and Deommodore Lenoir back in 2020 and Mykael Wright and James to serve as their respective understudies before taking over this fall. Half that plan proved acc urate after both starters opted out but Lenoir returned for the short season and probably ensured his selection in the NFL draft in the process. James got an increase in reps and closed the season out strong with some crucial plays in the Pac-12 champion ship game and Fiesta Bowl.Now he'll be a starter on the boundary side and go through the same process Wright did as a first-year starter last season. "I'm excited for the opportunity," James said. "I feel I've been talked to, coached into this pos ition that I'm about to acquire. I feel that I'm ready for it, my coaches will have me ready for it and I'm going to take over the opportunity and enjoy it." Mario Cristobal's take: "DJ James, he's a bigger guy than what you would think. He's a 6-foot-an d-a-half, 6-foot-1 guy that can run, can bend, come out of his hips. He can play the boundary, he can play the field, can play man coverage, drop back there in zone, run the alley, make plays, get guys on the ground." - The Oregonian
