Caden Durham, LSU commit, scores 5 TDs to lead Duncanville back to Texas high school football championship
Can anybody contain Caden Durham and Duncanville?
The LSU running back commit has balled out all season for the nationally ranked Panthers, and he kept it going in the Texas high school football state semifinals.
Durham rushed for 225 yards and five touchdowns in Duncanville's 52-10 victory over North Crowley on Saturday, helping the Panthers punch their ticket back to the UIL 6A D1 state championship next week against North Shore.
This wasn't the first time this postseason Durham rushed for more than 200 yards and five touchdowns in a game.
He posted 220 yards and five touchdowns on the ground in the Panthers' area round win against Rockwall-Heath. He also ran for 323 yards and one touchdown in the regional semifinals against The Woodlands.
Durham committed to LSU in August, choosing the Tigers over Texas A&M and Oklahoma, among others. The senior is the nation's No. 8 running back and No. 113 overall recruit in the class of 2024, according to the 247Sports composite rankings.
Duncanville entered the playoffs ranked the No. 3 team in Texas and No. 10 team in the country.
