Budding star LSU RB named among On3's Midseason True Freshman All-American team

On3 recently released its midseason True Freshman All-American team and a member of the LSU Tigers is listed on the team.

Caden Durham, the star freshman running back from Duncanville, Texas, finds himself as the starting running back on the Freshman All-American team. LSU is a team that has struggled to run the ball in the Brian Kelly regime but Durham has given the Tigers hope for a future running game.

In four games this season, Durham has 29 carries for 244 yards and three touchdowns. He has also caught six passes for 130 yards and two touchdowns.

Here is what On3 had to say about him.

Caden Durham has provided a much-needed big-play spark to the LSU backfield. The speedster from Duncanville (Texas) High has had a few huge games for the Tigers to this point in the season. He earned On3 True Freshman of the Week honors in week three after rushing for 98 yards and two touchdowns in a close win over South Carolina. Durham followed that up by erupting for over 200 yards and two touchdowns in the first half against South Alabama. The true freshman entered college with well-known big-play ability – he doubled as a track star and ran the 100 meters in the 10.4 second range. With that said, he’s also shown impressive contact balance and the ability to force missed tackles. Given his emergence in the last month, Durham looks to be a staple in LSu’s backfield for years to come. He ranked as the No. 116 overall prospect in the 2024 On300 and rushed for over 2,000 yards and 35 touchdowns as a senior at Duncanville.

Durham looks to keep his momentum rolling as the Tigers play a pivotal game against Ole Miss this weekend.
