7. Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU

Fournette became a 1,000-yard rusher as a true freshman in 2014, surpassing 100 yards in five games for LSU. He rushed for 143 yards with two touchdowns on just 11 carries in a 31-28 loss to Notre Dame in the Music City Bowl. He also added a 100-yard kickoff return for a score. Next year the Tigers are set to return eight starters on offense. Given the team’s questions at quarterback, Fournette should emerge as the go-to playmaker for an improved SEC contender.
