HOW QUICKLY CAN CADEN DURHAM CONTRIBUTE AT LSU?

With his compact build and blazing speed, the addition of Durham gives the LSU offense a tough, fast back who can make an immediate impact in Baton Rouge. The chance of Durham seeing the field early at LSU is good because he is the only running back LSU is recruiting for the 2024 recruiting cycle and more than half of the Tigers running backs on the 2023 roster are juniors or seniors.

SCOUTING CADEN DURHAM

Durham finished his junior season with 1,960 rushing yards and 36 touchdowns. He is a short but stocky back with incredible breakaway speed. He is a shifty, slashing type of back who is good with the jump cut, but also patient enough to wait for the blocks to develop. Durham has great acceleration and when he gets to the secondary his speed renders tackling angles useless.
