Fournette, at SEC media days, said he weighed 225 pounds. He weighed in at 230. Miles, on Friday, mentioned Fournette’s weight when asked about the running back, suggesting that the heat of preseason camp is helping the sophomore drop the pounds.

“I think he’s really kind of rounding into shape, if you will,” Miles said. “The heat’s good for him. It leans him up some.”

The talented sophomore from New Orleans set an LSU record for freshman rushing with 1,034 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2014. LSU fans should expect even bigger things from Fournette in 2015.
