Rutgers football transfer RB not taking major opportunity for granted
Clay Thevenin joined Rutgers football this past offseason as a Louisiana Tech transfer. The running back is another solid weapon for the offense.
PISCATAWAY – Clay Thevenin, a transfer running back for Rutgers football, is not taking his new opportunity for granted. Rutgers has developed several high-level running backs, including Isiah Pacheco, Kyle Monangai, and Antwan Raymond, who has shown promise in the NFL. Thevenin, who stands 5-foot-8 and weighs 195 pounds, played at Navarro College and Louisiana Tech before joining Rutgers.
He saw the potential in Rutgers' program, noting that the team's commitment to developing running backs both on and off the field was appealing to him. Thevenin, along with other running backs such as Ja’shon Benjamin, Edd Guerrier, Michael Dukes III, and Terrell Mitchell, now forms a strong running back room at Rutgers. He is eager to prove himself in the Big Ten and credits the coaching staff, particularly running backs coaches Damiere Shaw and Steve Thames, for his development.
