In a significant victory on the recruiting front, the LSU Tigers have secured the commitment of highly sought-after four-star running back Caden Durham for the upcoming 2024 season. Adding a dynamic element to their offensive arsenal, Durham’s decision brings a game-changing talent to Baton Rouge under the guidance of head coach Brian Kelly.

Ranked among the nation’s top 100 recruits, Durham’s commitment reinforces LSU’s formidable 2024 class and addresses a critical need for a standout running back.

Durham’s choice to don the Tigers’ colors was a closely watched affair, as he opted for LSU over strong contenders Oklahoma and Texas A&M. With his pledge, LSU’s running backs coach Frank Wilson, who was singularly focused on securing a premier back for the 2024 cycle, has successfully landed a gem.

Standing at just under 5-foot-9 and weighing around 195 pounds, Durham possesses a compact build that belies his explosive speed. A standout in track and field as well, Durham’s lightning-fast times in the 100 meters and 200 meters translate seamlessly onto the football field, making him one of the most electrifying prospects in the 2024 class.

ON3.com’s analysis underscores Durham’s potent combination of speed, power, and versatility. He boasts the ability to consistently breakaway for long touchdown runs, often leaving defenders in his wake at the second level. Durham’s agility and ability to read blocks make him a formidable threat, both as a rusher and a receiver out of the backfield.

His junior season achievements, which included leading his high school team to a state title in Texas’ highest classification, underscore his potential impact at the collegiate level. As Durham continues to develop his skill set, he’s poised to be a dynamic asset for the LSU Tigers and a player to watch in the seasons ahead.
