Miami landed the commitment of former TCU offensive center James Brockermeyer on Friday.
At 6’-3”/295, James is rated 85, the #44 IOL and the #521 overall transfer in the portal. He is Miami's sixth portal transfer in the winter window.
A four-star high school prospect, James chose Alabama as his college destination in 2019.
Here is what 247Sports Scouting Analyst Gabe Brooks had to say about James coming-out of high school in 2019.
“Adequate height and frame for interior O-line role, particularly at center. Fairly lean build and wears his weight well. Owns enough frame space to add needed bulk. Quick out of his stance and consistently initiates contact. Motor runs high. Block finisher who will take his target to the ground. Gets to second level well when required. Intelligent football player. Fairly quick-footed with requisite agility in pass protection. Comes from a family with outstanding football pedigree. Can improve initial punch power at point of attack. Shows encouraging functional athleticism on the field but can tighten up overall body control, particularly when engaged. Power Five-caliber offensive line prospect with ample experience snapping who could become high-major multi-year starter at center.”
In 2024, he transferred back home to play for TCU. Last season, James started all 12 games for the Horned Frogs. He played 814 snaps and allowed just one sack and eight quarterback pressures for the season. He earned an 80.2 pass-blocking grade by PFF and was named All-Big 12 Honorable Mention. He has one year of eligibility remaining.
Welcome to the U, James! Welcome to the family!
GO CANES!
