Scouting Verdict

Ta'Shawn James is an Iowa State transfer with a real Big 12 body of work: 41 tackles in 2024, 33 tackles and 5 PD in 2025. He's been a genuine P4 contributor, which separates him from the pure-depth DBs, but he projects as a UCLA reserve and lacks splash. Low UDFA on the proven production.
