Caden Durham, the former standout running back from Duncanville High School, had a breakout performance for LSU in their 36-33 victory over South Carolina, rushing for 98 yards and two touchdowns on just 11 carries. His impressive showing came after he had limited opportunities in previous games, and he demonstrated his ability to break tackles and evade defenders, which has been a concern for LSU's running game. Coach Brian Kelly praised Durham's performance, stating he set a standard for the running back position, and his contributions were crucial in helping LSU recover from an early 17-0 deficit. Meanwhile, back at Duncanville, senior tailback JaQualon Armstrong stepped up with 88 yards in a win over St. Frances Academy, receiving encouragement from Durham after his game. Armstrong aims to fill the void left by Durham, who was a key player in Duncanville's previous state championships. Both players exemplify the talent emerging from Texas high school football as they transition into impactful roles at the collegiate level.
