With the departure of Ty Davis-Price to the NFL, LSU may now look to Cain as a replacement physical runner.
Born in Baton Rouge, originally a high schooler in Texas and signed out of IMG Academy as a top five rated running back nationally, Cain previously set a Penn State freshman record with eight rushing touchdowns in 2019. Cain is a graduate transfer with two years of eligibility remaining.
The 5-foot-10, 220-pound junior started seven games this season, managing 350 rushing yards on 106 carries. Cain has yet to regain his previous form after suffering a season-ending injury in the first game of the 2020 season versus Indiana.
Cain is the nephew of former LSU star wide receiver Michael Clayton. A change of scenery closer to home could help provide the shot of confidence Cain needs to reboot his career.
