Caven McRae was highly recruited out of high school despite playing Canadian football as a wide receiver. He first received and verbally committed to a scholarship to play with the Buckeyes in Ohio but as his senior year in highschool went on he received more offers from more schools. On national signing day, Caven changed his mind and decided to go to Louisiana State University to play for the Tigers. Due to his large size and ability to catch the ball the tigers asked him to switch positions to Tight End. Luck played a big role in his success at LSU as their senior starting TE got injured in their 2nd game of their season. This led to Caven becoming the starter for week 3 and onward. His first season began slowly as he had to learn some of the duties of a Tight end such as blocking but after a few minor bumps in his first 3 games starting he went on to average 2 receptions per game and finished the season with 3 TD in his last 7 games. The success only grew as his years with the Tigers went on, finishing his college career with 85 receptions for 1384 yards and 25 Touchdowns.
