WATCH: Leonard Fournette’s nephew obliterating opponent in youth football is going viral

Somewhere Lane Kiffin is already putting together his recruiting pitch. Perhaps Ed Orgeron is too.

Former LSU and current Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette shared a video on his Twitter account on Tuesday night that is literally going viral. It has nearly 500,000 watches since it was shared. The video shows Fournette’s nephew in a tackling drill.

Fournette is entering his third pivotal season with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars drafted him with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. During his rookie season, Fournette topped 1,000 yards and nine touchdowns, but last year he rushed for just 439 yards and five touchdowns. His 2018 season was plagued by an injury and one-game suspension.

During three seasons at LSU, Fournette was arguably the best player in the nation. The 6-0, 225-pound freakish athlete rushed for 3,830 yards and 40 touchdowns.

It appears his nephew is going to be a player, too, if this video is any indication.
