Leonard Fournette, Soph., RB, LSU
Fournette led the league in 2014 in all-purpose yards averaging 137.4 yards per game. Fournette ran for a school freshman record of 1034 yards and found the end zone 10 times. Fournette had five 100-yard games in 2014 and in 2015 will have no problem replicating his first year numbers.
There isn’t much to hope for in Baton Rouge and the LSU faithful in 2015, but Fournette is definitely their light at the end of the tunnel. If he has another good season, Fournette could cause more very talented young backs to commit to LSU and could help the program return to the national spotlight.
