James is the cousin of NFL star running back Edgerrin James of the Arizona Cardinals, who also played for the University of Miami. Hailing from Immokalee, Florida, Javarris was one of the highest rated running backs during the 2005-06 recruiting season. As a sophomore in high school, James rushed 165 times for 1,145 yards and 14 touchdowns for Immokalee. He managed an even better season as a junior, rushing 225 times for 1,658 yards and 28 touchdowns while leading the Indians to the state title. He suffered a knee injury during his senior year that kept him out of five games, but he returned to the lineup healthy and still rushed for over 1,000 yards and 14 touchdowns.

He was heavily recruited by Miami, USC, Florida, South Florida, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. James chose to follow in the footsteps of his famous cousin and play for Miami, where he dons the same #5 jersey his cousin wore during his days at The U.

James impressed Miami head coach Larry Coker during fall practice to the point that Coker did not hesitate to use the true freshman in the first game of the 2006 season against archrival Florida State. After a big game against Florida A&M and showing flashes in a loss to Louisville, Coker named James the starting running by the fourth game of the season. James responded by rushing for 148 yards on 18 carries (8.2 ypc) and a touchdown in his first college start against Houston. The 148 yards were a school record for a freshman, topping Clinton Portis's old mark of 147 yards. In recognition of his accomplishment, James was named the ACC Rookie of the Week.[2] James broke the 100-yard barrier again in his next start, as he ran for 111 yards and a touchdown against North Carolina. James surpassed the "century mark" the third time in Miami's October 28 loss to Georgia Tech, rushing for 112 yards on 19 carries.He finished his freshman season with 158 rushing attempts 767yrds 4.9avg and 4tds.

James suffered a hip pointer injury early in the first half of Miami's November 7 game against Virginia Tech.

The play of the talented freshman was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise disappointing 2006 season for Miami.

  • His nickname is "Baby J".
