Darius Hoggins was set to replace Elijah McGuire for the Ragin’ Cajuns this season at running back. This is no small undertaking, as McGuire left campus as the school’s record-holder for all-purpose yards in a career. Filling those shoes is hard enough without other distractions, but the most unlikely of culprits derailed Hoggins last Friday: his cell phone.
According to The Acadiana Advocate’s report, head coach Mark Hudspeth is calling what happened to Hoggins a “non-football-related injury” and a “just a freak thing.”
The report goes on to say that the incident occurred when Hoggins fell down while looking at his cell phone.
