LSU’s bruising, big-play RB who still looms large
In the 2015 season, Leonard Fournette was one of college football’s most dominant backs, rushing for 1,953 yards and 22 touchdowns while leading the nation with 162.8 rushing yards per game; across his LSU career, he finished with 3,830 rushing yards and 40 total touchdowns, despite an ankle injury shortening his final season[3][4]. What made him special wasn’t just size-speed power, but his ability to break games open against top competition—he was a home-run threat with NFL-level physicality and a relentless edge[1][14]. If your team wants a battering ram who can still outrun angles, Fournette was the real deal.
