Add another mark to the growing list of accomplishments for LSU running back Leonard Fournette, as the junior running back has been chosen as the cover athlete for ESPN the Magazine’s 2016 College Football Preview edition.

This will be the second time Fournette will grace the cover of the magazine but the first time for the preseason edition of the college football season.

In 2015, Fournette rushed for 1,953 yards and an amazing 22 touchdowns. In his two-year career, Fournette has piled up 3,367 total yards from scrimmage and 33 touchdowns.

Certainly he’s done enough on the field to earn a cover or two. The next time he’s on the cover of a nationally distributed magazine, it could be as the winner of the 2016 Heisman Trophy.
