Bryce James received his first major scholarship offer on Saturday — one that would make his father LeBron James proud.
LeBron’s youngest son took an unofficial visit to Ohio State on Saturday. The 16-year-old was in attendance as the Buckeyes football team beat the Maryland Terrapins 37-17 at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio.
