James Howell born in California grew up as a star athlete at every level from the pee-wee leagues, to high school to college. Throughout his athletic career in football and track James always faced challenges with a smile and a unique energy but before breaking track records at San Angelo State University Howell went through a life altering experience. James found himself in a situation that he couldn’t even run from when in 2009 FBI Agents approached him with guns drawn as he was leaving a friends home. The agents revealed to him that he had been linked to a homicide murder case. Sitting and pacing behind bars James said his whole life flashed before his eyes because he knew he did not commit the crime.
