Caden Durham to become third LSU RB transfer out


Stephen Lew

LSU is down to one running back.

Following the portal announcements JuJuan Johnson and Kaleb Jackson, junior Caden Durham has announced he’ll enter to the portal. The sophomore from Dallas was the SEC Offensive Freshman of the Year in 2024 when he led the Tigers with 753 yards and six touchdowns as a rookie. He played through injuries again in 2025 and finished the regular season with a team-best 505 yards and added three touchdowns.

CBS Sports was the first to report the news.

Durham was a consensus four-star recruit who picked the Tigers over Oklahoma where his mother ran track.

New LSU running backs coach Kevin Smith inherits a room that only includes freshman Harlem Berry.

Frank Wilson, who coached LSU’s running backs from 2021 through his interim head coaching stint that finished in the Texas Bowl, is headed to Ole Miss.

Durham has two seasons of eligibility remaining.
