6 RUSHING TDs

260 RECEIVING YARDS

28 CATCHES

      Caden Durham was an unstoppable force right off the Ponderosa assembly line, finding playing time early when LSU Assistant Head Coach / RBs Coach Frank Wilson threw him into the fire @ South Carolina in week 3, looking for any answer to the Tigers' bankrupt running game....

      ....The former track star freshman responded by producing a huge performance on the day in a close, critical road win, but also an epic first year breakout campaign featuring over 1,000 total yards, 8 total TDs & 168 overall opportunities to make plays as a key cog within Joe Sloan's offense.

     Rushing for 98 yards & 2 TDs from only 12 carries during his second ever collegiate appearance on the road @ South Carolina, Caden Durham announced himself as the running back for LSU's future and present...but few knew he had another surprise for us all:

     Breaking into the top echelon of LSU's greatest ever offensive freshmen with 217 total yards (128 rushing, 89 receiving, 1 TD in each category), including two plays that each went for over 80 yards, Durham cooked South Alabama from the first touch of the game until his last......in fact, Durham scored twice & nearly hit 200 yards after the first 4 offensive plays alone, taking over the starting running back role in the process.....

      However.......an injury would attempt to put a stranglehold on proceedings:

      Suffering broken toes during the South Alabama game, the rest of Durham's freshman year hung in the balance of his pain tolerance....how much agonizing pain on his broken toes could he really take? All the cutting & planting on that foot, how could he still run with violence, power, his next level speed???

      Well, it turns out Durham is blessed with an incredible pain tolerance that allowed him to fight game to game, delivering tough yards on the ground when LSU's inconsistent offense needed it most this past fall.

      Alongside his strongest outing vs Arkansas, where he produced 3 rushing scores & 101 yards on the ground, the former Duncanville 2 sport state champion (in football & track) recorded 95 rushing yards against Florida, 80 vs Oklahoma (plus 32 receiving yards vs the Sooners), and 60 on the ground during limited work vs Baylor (2024 Texas Bowl).

Without question, Caden Durham is a singular talent, made of pure athletic mechanics, turbulent velocity speed in the next level, shifty moves, and an iron will to get through & beyond every opponent in his path, LSU's sophomore superstar running back is sure to become must-see TV in 2025, just as he was throughout last fall.

Even as he runs behind an offensive line featuring 4 new starters & a transfer now starting at center, nobody around the LSU program is betting against this kid.

The manner in which Durham creates his own running lanes is outrageous in and of itself: Utilizing prophetic vision, the Texas-born Tiger possesses an athletically arresting ability to hold a defense hostage: manipulating their positioning due to his expert cutting, knack for making defenders miss or breaking tackles & God-given thoroughbred pace, traits that give him the autonomy to chew up major yards while simultaneously draining opponents.

Durham is absolutely within LSU's top 5 most exciting Tigers heading into 2025, and you could easily make the argument for why he should be #1....he's that explosive, he's that productive, and with the football in his hands, he's that transcendental.
