LEXINGTON — It didn’t take Lexington junior Joe Caudill long to feel right at home.
Even if it was a state away.
Caudill went on a Junior Day visit to Michigan State University and was rolled out the red carpet for as he was swept off his feet over the weekend. By the end of the week, Caudill was a Spartan.

As a junior, Caudill stuffed the stat sheet running for 664 yards on 176 carries with 14 touchdowns. He completed 175-of-321 passes for 2,161 yards and 16 TDs piling up 2,825 all-purpose yards.
