Former Rummel running back Logan Diggs has signed with LSU after spending the last two seasons at Notre Dame. Tigers running backs have struggled staying on the field as John Emory, Armoni Goodwin, and Kaleb Jackson all missed time this Spring. The 22nd-ranked back in the 2021 class, The Advocate’s Wilson Alexander said Diggs will provide proven depth to a convoluted running back room.
“LSU’s already go technically still 6 scholarship backs, but because of those question marks there, to be able to bring in somebody like Logan Diggs would provide a lot of certainty to that room when you’ve already got Josh Williams and Noah Cain and potentially Emery. Then you bring in those freshmen and let them develop, to bring in somebody who could be maybe a feature back could end up being pretty helpful for this team.”
The Boutte, Louisiana native started eight games as a sophomore, rushing for 822 yards and four touchdowns for the Fighting Irish last season. After averaging 5 yards a carry as a feature back in the Notre Dame offense, Diggs will reunite with his former coach this summer as perhaps the most talented Tiger running back, but Alexander said he won’t take over the role.
“They like a lot of the things Josh does, they like some of the things that Noah Cain does, they like some of these freshmen, and Trey Holly’s vision has been impressive in the spring, and so, I don’t think he would necessarily just have the job handed to him and be a full-on feature back, but he would maybe step in as being the favorite in that room to get the majority of the carries, but they’re still going to use a lot of these guys.”
