Elijah McGuire played a central role for the Ragin’ Cajun offense between the 2013 and 2016 seasons as their starting running back. He finished his career with the team as the all-time leader in all-purpose yards and total touchdowns. McGuire officially recorded 840 rushing attempts and receptions combined, netting 5,695 yards of offense.

Replacing McGuire will be a difficult task for the team during the 2017 season, but he is hoping to translate his success and heavy workload from the last four years into a role on an NFL team.
