A former LSU running back finally debuted with his new team after hitting the transfer portal last year.
Logan Diggs saw the field for Ole Miss in the first quarter of the Gator Bowl vs Duke. On his first play, Diggs caught a pass in the flat and took it for six yards.
It was a long road back for Diggs after an offseason surgery.
Diggs spent one year at LSU in 2023. His career began at Notre Dame, where he spent two years before reuniting with Brian Kelly at LSU.
Diggs ran it 119 times for 532 yards and seven touchdowns in 2023. Most of LSU’s rushing production came from Jayden Daniels, but Diggs was LSU’s most efficient back. He added eight catches for 82 yards in the passing game.
LSU’s run game struggled in 2024, and the Tigers could have used the veteran presence of Diggs if he were healthy.
In Diggs’ absence, true freshman running back Caden Durham emerged.
