Clay Thevenin News, Rumors, Updates - Louisiana Tech Bulldogs

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.

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.

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.

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, Blake Baker propel Louisiana Tech to 55-14 victory over Sam Houston

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.

OCTOBER 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Big day through the air Thevenin ran 12 times for 35 yards and had six catches for 52 yards against WKU on Tuesday.

Impact The receiving yards are nice, but there are some concerns about Thevenin on the ground. He's averaged 3.5 yards per carry against FBS opponents.

OCTOBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Totals over 50 yards Thevenin ran 11 times for 31 yards and caught three passes for 26 yards against Kennesaw State on Saturday.

Impact Thevenin got 19 carries in La Tech's last game, so this is a slight step down. He also didn't run the ball well, and Thevenin has averaged 3.6 yards per carry against FBS teams this season.

Steps into lead role Thevenin ran 19 times for 68 yards and a touchdown versus UTEP on Saturday.

Impact Thevenin usurped Omiri Wiggins' position as the lead back for the Bulldogs. While he did find the end zone, averaging 3.6 yards per carry against UTEP isn't exactly inspiring of confidence.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2025 • Associated Press

Scores on the ground Thevenin ran seven times for 11 yards and a touchdown against USM on Saturday. He also had one catch for 17 yards.

Impact Averaging 1.6 yards per carry isn't good, but Thevenin is in a secondary role so there isn't much reason to sweat it. He's primed to get a handful of touches per game as a backup but in the way where anything positive he does for the team is a bonus.

Leads Bulldogs in touches Thevenin ran seven times for 22 yards and had three catches for nine yards versus LSU on Saturday.

Impact Thevenin earned some extra looks after turning six carries into 61 yards and a score in La Tech's opener. Sure, Thevenin didn't do much, but this was a road game versus LSU. The real takeaway is that he got 10 touches on offense.

Rushes for TD Thevenin ran six times for 61 yards and a touchdown against SE Louisiana on Saturday.

Impact Thevenin scored one of La Tech's two touchdowns, and he led the team in rushing yards. While you might be wary about the six carries, that actually led all running backs as well.
