   UTSA’s offer was the first Cage announced on March 30, the same day announced he’d entered the portal.

   Cage had 30 total tackles including 11 for loss while playing all seven games in Nicholls’ 2021 COVID-prompted spring season, including a season-high nine tackles against fellow Southland Conference member Southeastern Louisiana.

   He was a first team Louisiana Sports Writers Association Class 5A pick and a two-time New Orleans Advocate All-Metro selection at Rummel.
