I heard that some people already have Leonard Fournette on a preseason Heisman watch list for the SEC. For those unfamiliar, this is a true freshman RB that came to LSU this year and has yet to play a college down. Granted, he was a monster in HS and comes in as the #1 RB recruit in the class.
So he's highly recruited, but has yet to even put on pads in practice and some people are mentioning him as being a contender for the Heisman. 'Crootin obsession has gone too far.
I think he could be next year, but yeah, when Jesse Palmer said Dak Prescott was a dark horse heisman candidate, it was hard not to laugh. Nobody's predictions at the beginning of the season are even close for the most part.
