Quotable

“Florida has done so much right with the way they have recruited me. Florida is a local school that really did a great job recruiting me and getting to know me. Coach Napier has put a lot of time into me and getting to know me and that means something. I see coach Napier as a genuine guy. He is always smiling, not fake. He’s 100% real. He is a smart coach has is putting a lot of energy and work into Florida.”

Scouting Report on Kamran James

Tall defensive lineman who is one of the more athletic and disruptive prospects at the position in the 2023 cycle. Measured at over 6-foot-6 and around 265 pounds prior to his senior season. Ran an outstanding 4.98 second electronically-timed 40-yard dash.

Primarily lines up as a big defensive end for his high school. A twitchy mover with explosive finishing ability behind the line of scrimmage. Has outstanding play speed at his size. Strokes down ball carriers from the backside. Consistently wins due to his athleticism and speed in pursuit. Shows a good burst off the ball and is borderline unblockable when he gets a good jump.

Finished with 21 tackles for loss and 13 tackles as a junior. Also plays basketball, where he shows the ability to throw down some powerful dunks. Has room to add muscle mass once he gets in a college strength program. Will continue improving his technical ability, namely his hands and overall polish. Has the upside to finish as one of the top defensive linemen in the cycle.
