Stud running back

Acadiana Rams running back Dashun Lightfoot is really good. Last Friday game against Zachary, Lightfoot had 270 yards rushing, 5 TDS and had a 60+ yard TD run called back. He limped off the field hurting 4 or 5 times and was limping on his last TD run. He played QB for a few plays when regular QB DeBetta was shaken up and had to go out. He even played safety late in 4th quarter. Total for 2 games are 495 yards rushing with 9 TDS. Remarkably he only has scholarship offer from Lamar. Someone needs to look at this kid again

Acadiana alum - all of our backs put those numbers up because we run the veer. It’s unique and defenses have trouble with the rb hitting the hole so quick. If he were special (think Alley Broussard) he’d be offered by everyone. No offense to him. What class is he?

Also an Acadiana Alum (Class of 1980, I'm old). Nearly 500 yards and 9 TDs for one player in the first two games is not the norm, even for a Veer offense, and certainly not for Acadiana. And those were against Central and Zachary.
He is averaging 9.6 YPC, as well.
He is a senior, listed as 5'10", 197lbs. That may be what has held back some of the offers so far.

That is perfect size for a Rb.

These days the perfect size is 6’2” 225 running a 4.3

He needs to go to the camps where the coaches can evaluate him in person. We currently have stud RB’s committed and i trust the current staff’s evaluations much better than previous. That doesn’t mean they won’t miss on a guy.
All you can do is make them aware of him.

Those two games were against Central and Zachary. Neither team is a slouch

He's a little lighter than you would like. And it's HS measurements, which could be dead on or could be giving him more height and/or weight. Never have I seen the HS measurements be under in height, more often than not, they are over.
That's only part of the equation, though. I assume he does not have much tape yet and has not camped because I didn't see him on any of the scouting services (though I only casually checked using Google).

They are prob discounting him cause he false starts before every handoff

Thats a good size rb if those are accurate numbers.
Posted on 9/16/26 at 7:38 am to Juan Betanzos

Also Acadiana High alum ('84), and I can't speak to the RB in question, but I did get to spend some time visiting with Dom McKinley's family this past weekend!

Seems like a good family; need Darryus to transfer to LSU
My little sister was Class of 83; you and I would have just missed each other.

Is it called every play or is it part of an antiquated offense and hasn't been called for the 50 years Acadiana has run the veer? It's not a false start if it's never called.

Is he a physical runner? It's pretty clear this staff has a type.

Have a daughter that cheers for Central, and watched the entire game against Central. The RB was decent, but the amount of yards was 100% based off the type of offense that Acadiana was running. There was nothing about the RB that stood out to me and said, this guy is a legit D1 athlete. Again, he was a good RB, but his stats are based mostly off of the offense they run. It was such a boring and frustrating game to watch. Although it was very efficient for Acadiana and was the reason they won the game.

He transferred from Franklin so he hasn’t really gotten a ton of exposure until this year. After watching him play these last few games, he’s pretty special. You’d see many Acadiana running backs gain insane amounts of yards due to the offense, but he is special in that he breaks a ton of tackles and reverses course when the hole isn’t there for big gains. He has that great combination of tough to bring down and breakaway speed. Reminds me a lot of Micah Eugene.
