Auburn corner DJ James was named to the Nagurski Trophy watchlist

Could DJ James be the best defensive player in college football?

The Nagurski Trophy is awarded to the best defensive player in college football, and Auburn corner DJ James was named to the watchlist for this award. 

This comes as no surprise as James is one of the best corners in college football and will lockdown opposing wide receivers for the Tigers this season.

James and Kool-Aid McKinstry of Alabama are two of the best corners in college football, and one of these guys will be the best in the SEC. 

The tandem of James and Nehemiah Pritchett is going to be dominant for the Tigers this season. 

I feel bad for opposing quarterbacks that will try and move the ball through the air against these two this season. 

James is in for a big season and is completely deserving of being on the Nagurski Trophy watchlist. 

When the 2023 college football season ends, James will be considered one of the best defenders in the nation.
