LSU At the Game: The Talented Mr. Fournette

Gifted Athlete is Also a Selfless Leader

In just two short years in Baton Rouge, LSU running back Leonard Fournette has hit Mick Jagger-like rock star status not just on campus, but around the country as well.

The Heisman hopeful finished last season with 1,953 rushing yards, compiling 22 touchdowns in his stellar sophomore campaign.

While Fournette has definitely seen an incredible boost in fame and popularity, the limelight is something that he's been dealing with since high school, and it's something that he won't let faze him."I first started receiving national attention my freshman year of high school," explained Fournette.
