How this backup RB is making impact on Rutgers football's offense

Clay Thevenin has emerged as a reliable secondary running option for the Scarlet Knights, contributing 180 rushing yards and three scores across his first five appearances. The transfer from Louisiana Tech, who previously played at Navarro College, has earned praise from head coach Greg Schiano for his quick integration into the program's offensive scheme and his commitment to mastering complex game preparation.

Rutgers will look to utilize Thevenin's physical running style this Saturday when they face Maryland. The backup tailback, who serves behind Antwan Raymond, credited the coaching staff, including Damiere Shaw and Kirk Ciarrocca, for significantly advancing his understanding of the sport.
