James filled up the stat sheet with seven tackles, a forced fumble and a pair of interceptions, to finish off his accomplished career in the regular-season finale.
No bigger play was more critical than his fourth-quarter interception that he returned 52 yards up the sideline to KWC's 13-yard line.
James' pick set up a game-winning field goal drilled by teammate Tyler Schiefelbein with just 1:15 left in regulation.
He finished the season with 57 tackles (7.1 per game) and a league-leading five interceptions. James was a two-time G-MAC Defensive Player of the Week this season.
