James has been named the winner of the inaugural “Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award”, the NCAA announced Monday. The honor is awarded to a senior football player and is voted on my fans, media, and coaches.

Here is a little more about the award:

An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award has grown into the nation’s premier tribute to college seniors. The award identifies personal qualities that define a complete student-athlete, with criteria including excellence in the classroom, character and community, as well as competition on the field.

Congrats to James. He embodies all that being a standout student athlete is all about and is very deserving of this award. It was presented to him during the Fiesta Bowl pregame show.
