LSU RB Leonard Fournette is going to need a bigger trophy shelf by the time his college football days are done.
On Monday night, the Tigers’ standout runner took to Instagram to show off his growing collection of commemorative footballs.
The three pictured mark achievements from his memorable 2015 season, during which he set school single-season records with 1,953 yards rushing and 22 rushing touchdowns.
Fournette returns to an LSU team that has lofty expectations for the 2016 season, and is considered one of the nation’s early favorites for the Heisman Trophy.
While he’s clearing space in his trophy collection for the addition of these 2015 achievements, he may also want to find a way to proactively clear some space for the bounty he could bring home next season.
