Going into the 2023 football season, LSU Wire will be looking at each player listed on the Tigers’ roster.
Over the preseason, each profile will cover where the player is from, how recruiting websites rated them coming out of high school, and what role they will play for Brian Kelly this season.
We are headed back to the loaded running back room to check out one of the veterans of the group, Noah Cain. Cain transferred to LSU last year after spending three years at Penn State. He played in all 14 games last season making only three starts. He will be fighting for playing time again this fall.

Depth Chart Overview
As previously mentioned, LSU’s running back room is loaded with talent. It’s as if there are five or six different cooks all trying to cook in one kitchen. Cain is going to compete for carries with [autotag]Josh Williams[/autotag], [autotag]Armoni Goodwin[/autotag], [autotag]John Emery Jr.[/autotag], [autotag]Logan Diggs[/autotag] and [autotag]Trey Holly[/autotag]. I’m glad that I am not the one that has to divvy up the number of carries.
