Leonard Fournette is expected to rack up the accolades during the 2016 season, and the LSU running back started claiming them before the games even got underway.

A favorite to win the 2016 Heisman Trophy, Fournette was selected by ESPN the Magazine as the cover athlete for its college football preview.

Considering he rushed for 1,953 yards and 22 touchdowns as a sophomore last season, it's hard to argue the choice to put Fournette on the cover. One of the most exciting players in college football, this will hardly be the last magazine that features Fournette front and center.
