Clay Thevenin News, Rumors, Updates - Rutgers Scarlet Knights

Find end zone in defeat Thevenin had seven carries for 30 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 28-21 loss against Michigan.

Impact Thevenin handled his usual complementary role and delivered the tying touchdown in the fourth quarter before Michigan pulled away late. He remains Rutgers' top option near the goal line, which keeps his scoring chances alive even when the carries are limited. He'll look to stay involved Saturday at Wisconsin.

Excels in even backfield split Thevenin had 14 rushes for 116 yards and caught their only target for 10 yards during Saturday's 42-14 defeat versus Northwestern.

Impact Thevenin topped 100 rushing yards for the second straight week, piling up 116 on just 14 carries in the loss. The senior has taken on a bigger role as the season has gone on, and his recent efficiency is pushing him toward a near-even split with Antwan Raymond. Michigan's stout front will test whether Rutgers can keep leaning on both backs.

Passes century mark and scores twice Thevenin (undisclosed) logged 17 carries for 109 yards and one touchdown and caught all two targets for 24 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 37-30 win against Maryland.

Impact Thevenin was seen warming up prior to kickoff Saturday and ultimately suited up for Rutgers. The running back produced his best performance of the season, surpassing 100 yards on the ground for the first time while notching a rushing and receiving score. He also outpaced fellow running back Antwan Raymond (16-29-1). Thevenin should continue to split carries with Raymond moving forward and will aim to build on his momentum against Northwestern in Week 8.

Warming up Saturday Thevenin (undisclosed) is warming up ahead of Saturday's game at Maryland, Brian Fonseca of NJ.com reports.

Impact Thevenin, who is considered a game-time decision, is on the right trajectory to be available for Saturday's road clash. With Antwan Raymond (also a game-time decision) also warming up, the Scarlet Knights look set to have both top backs available assuming there are no late setbacks.

OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision for Saturday Thevenin (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game versus Maryland, per the Big Ten availability report.

Impact Thevenin's status for Saturday's contest is still in question less than two hours before kickoff. With Antwan Raymond (undisclosed) also a game-time decision and Ja'Shon Benjamin (undisclosed) out, the Scarlet Knights could be without their three top backs at Maryland.

OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Status in jeopardy for Week 7 Thevenin (undisclosed) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Terrapins.

Impact Thevenin may miss his first game of the season on Saturday against Maryland due to an undisclosed injury. The Louisiana Tech transfer has 42 carries for 180 yards and three touchdowns this season.

Mops up in garbage time Thevenin compiled 16 carries for 69 yards and one touchdown during Friday's 58-7 victory over Howard.

Impact Antwan Raymond was pulled once the game was well in hand, giving Thevenin a chance to shine in the blowout win. The Louisiana Tech transfer likely had his last chance at a featured role, as Raymond will own most of the carries as Rutgers starts its conference schedule next week.

SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Headed to Piscataway Thevenin will transfer to Rutgers, he announced on his personal X account.

Impact Thevenin is coming off a strong season with Louisiana Tech in which he ran for 634 yards and eight touchdowns while reeling in 33 catches for 269 yards. He'll now head to Rutgers with what appears to be two years of eligibility remaining, and he'll look to get involved behind returning star Antwan Raymond.

JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Enters transfer portal Thevenin has announced his entry into the NCAA transfer portal, Hayes Fawcett of On3.com reports.

Impact Thevenin will depart from Louisiana Tech following a productive season with the Bulldogs. The 5-foot-10 sophomore running back logged 121 carries for 605 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground, adding on 29 receptions for 251 yards through the air across 12 games this fall. Thevenin figures to draw looks from multiple programs in the portal this offseason.

Playing through injury Thevenin (undisclosed) has returned to Tuesday's game against Coastal Carolina but appears banged up, per the ESPN broadcast.

Impact Thevenin has been in and out of the contest after suffering an injury in the first half. While he's been attempting to play through the injury, he doesn't seem to be at full health.

DECEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Briefly returns, appears banged up Thevenin (undisclosed) returned to action after he was knocked out of the game initially, but proceeded to limp off the field again in the third quarter, per the ESPN broadcast.

Impact Thevenin's day likely appears done after he was already removed from the game once with what remains an undisclosed injury. To this point, the tailback had four carries for 12 yards and four catches for 18 yards.

DECEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Exits bowl game Thevenin has left Tuesday's game against Coastal Carolina with an undisclosed injury, per the ESPN broadcast.

Impact Thevenin rushed three times for five yards and caught two passes for 15 yards before exiting in the first half. While he's sidelined, Andrew Burnette could see more carries.

DECEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Catches four passes Thevenin ran 10 times for 46 yards and caught four passes for 60 yards against Missouri State on Saturday.

Impact With option-quarterback-in-disguise Trey Kukuk under center, the Bulldogs pretended to have a passing game through dump-offs to Thevenin. By that, we mean Kukuk completed eight passes for 87 yards in this game. Hey, they won, so expect more of the same in the bowl game.

NOVEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Totals 68 yards Thevenin ran 10 times for 43 yards and had four catches for 25 yards versus Liberty on Saturday.

Impact Trey Kukuk, a run-first quarterback, started and led the team in carries. Andrew Burnette also had 17 carries himself. Thevenin is perhaps competing with carries, but his five targets indicates that he can still operate as a safety outlet in the passing game.

NOVEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Tough day at Wazzu Thevenin ran seven times for 13 yards and caught two passes for 15 yards against Washington State on Saturday.

Impact Thevenin did return a kick for 47 yards, so he made an impact there. Playing in Pullman is tough, and Wazzu quietly has a good defense. Through 10 games Thevenin has managed about 700 total yards and has scored eight touchdowns, and Liberty and Missouri State will be easier matchups than Washington State.

NOVEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Rushes for two TDs Thevenin ran 10 times for 64 yards and two touchdowns and caught three passes for 42 yards Saturday against Delaware.

Impact Thevenin led the team in rushing yards, receiving yards, and was responsible for both of its offensive touchdowns. He's kind of become the La Tech offense, which means he could be quite productive down the stretch.

Clay Thevenin rushed for 143 yards and three scores, Blake Baker had a touchdown pass and a touchdown run and Louisiana Tech breezed to a 55-14 victory over Sam Houston

NOVEMBER 1, 2025 • Associated Press

Rushes for three TDs Thevenin ran 11 times for 143 yards and three touchdowns but lost a fumble Friday against Sam Houston.

Impact You can get away with a fumble when you have numbers like this. Thevenin really bolstered his numbers given that he came into this game with 296 yards and three scores on the ground. It's impressive, to be sure, but Sam Houston may be the worst FBS team.
