Early years

Like many stereotypical asian parents Cho was forced to take the academic route and did not touch a ball until middle school.

Cho was named a unanimous Pac twelve Defensive lineman of the year for his 31 total tackles (13 for a loss) and a team leading 8 sacks.Additionally, he had 3 pass breackups, and 7 quarterback hurries. His scouting report coming out of college ""High-motor defensive end prospect possessing NSFL play strength on a well-muscled, compact frame. Cho uses forward lean, smart hands and impressive upper-body power to pry open edges against the run and pass. He can defeat single blocks and fits as an end in both 4-3 and 3-4 fronts with the ability to reduce inside as a rusher. His lack of fluidity in space could prevent him from becoming an elite rusher, but he understands how to play and should become an early starter and future Pro Bowler."""
College career statistics
James Cho was selected 49th overall by the Dallas Birddogs. After scouting the Birddogs liked what they saw and took a risk picking Cho in the top 50 overall picks. This pick would pay off as currently out all rookie defensive ends Cho currently ranks 2nd behind Egghands. Cho started in all 14 games of the DSFL season and record 36 total tackles 17 which were tackle for loss, 2 sacks, and 1 fumble recovery. Cho accredits his alma matter the university of Washington to prepare him for the DSFL which in turn will help him succeed in the NSFL. It is rumored that Cho will be picked in the 2nd round but that is all speculation. Cho’s locker room presence is felt here and there. Not much of a talker but will definitely input something here and there. You will mostly see Cho in the pokecord sniping Pokémon left and right. When Cho was asked what he did during the off season he responded with “I’ m always on the grind no matter what I do. Be it training, watching film, hitting the weights, I always do it 110% because 100 is never good enough. I need to do everything I can do to increase my draft stock for the NSFL because I want to make as big of an impact as I can. Mark my words I’ll be holding a ultimus trophy someday.” Cho hopes to one day make it into the NSFL hall of fame but for now wants to make a impact and become a pro-bowler.
