A tighthead prop, James won four national titles at the University of California, Berkeley, where he also played football as a defensive lineman. He earned second-team All-Pac-10 honors for football in 1983 and played in the 1984 Japan Bowl.[1]

James played rugby with Oxford University in 1989, appearing alongside countryman Gary Hein in the Varsity match, to gain his blue.[2] He was capped nine times for the United States during the early 1990s.[3][4]
