Noah Cain, the Penn State transfer running back, traveled more than 1,200 miles to get to LSU. He has lived most of his life outside the state of Louisiana. But he never let any other state define him. "When I was in Texas, everybody was like, 'You a Tex as kid,' and I'd always stop and correct them like, 'Get it straight: I'm from Louisiana,' " Cain said. To Cain, who moved to Denton, Texas, after Hurricane Katrina, Louisiana was family. It's where he spent every holiday and most of his summers. On his journey, every other stop - Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania - was just a detour on his way back home to play at his dream school: LSU.His mom, Tonya, doesn't know what it is about this place. She said he probably should give Texas more credit, since he spent 10 years there. But everything about Louisiana ignited a special spark in him and when he was there. He would film his grandparents cooking gumbo, or himself going to an LSU football camp. And after a three-year career at Penn State, Cain saw an opportunity to finally return to his roots. "When he said, 'Coach Frank (Wilson) is at LSU, and I think it will be good for me,' I'm like, 'Well, Noah, you haven't steered us wrong at any age," Tonya said. "None of his decisions have steered him wrong, so we supported him fully." - Baton Rouge Advocate
