A look at running back Elijah McGuire

Running back Elijah McGuire played four years at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette for the Ragin Cajuns. McGuire possesses very decent size for a running back, at a height of 5’10’ while weighing 214lbs. Specifically, he’s well-known for his athleticism during his senior year with the Ragin Cajuns.

McGuire, unfortunately, sprained his foot in the fourth overtime while playing against Tulane University in game number four of his senior season which the Cajuns had lost by a score of 41-39. The injury occurred on a night that the Sun Belt’s 2014 player of the year had rushed for a career high 38 times.
