another ATVS gem... great read!



Leonard Fournette's Favorite Plater

quote:

Terrence Magee has never started a game for LSU. In his sophomore year, he only received one carry all season. He was stopped for no gain. In a crowded LSU backfield, he’s always been the odd man out.

Magee was a big time recruit and a member of the Super Dozen. However, he was a high school quarterback who had to change position in order to see the field at the next level. He arrived on campus and immediately got to work at becoming a running back. The next season, he spent fall camp working out with the wide receivers because that is what the coaches asked, and what the team needed. The next season, he was back with the running backs, his third consecutive season in which he changed positions.

He slowly climbed up the depth chart last season, going from odd man out to a vital part of the attack. Magee cleared 100 yards for the first time in his career against an SEC opponent in the eleventh game of his junior season, gaining 149 yards on 13 carries against Texas A&M. It was only the second time all season he had more than 10 carries. By season’s end, Magee owned the highest yards per carry in the LSU backfield.

After Jeremy Hill left for the pros along with almost all of the team’s offensive production, Magee took it upon himself to lead by example. He earned the Alvin Roy Fourth Quarter Award and the Eric Andolsek Leadership Award for his dedication in the offseason and performance in spring drills.

The kid will have a special year. That is why he was chosen to wear the number 18.

We're very lucky to have a guy like him on the team.

He said that while Hill was a great player, Fournette could be the greatest running back in LSU history.

Fournette might be the star, but we need guys like Magee. Great read.

Basically telling everyone to ease up on crowning Buga and respect everything Magee has went through to get where he is at LSU.

Where is there a quote that McGee is Fournette's favorite player?

I still vividly remember his first touchdown against Kentucky. I was sitting with my cousins ,whose seats are behind the parents, and the moment he was in the end zone his mom was jumping up and down yelling "That's my baby!"
Glad to see him get his well deserved honors

Holy hell that was a great article.. the end was fantastic..

quote:

Leonard Fournette might be the team’s best offensive player (though La’El Collins probably would like to have a few words with you about that), but make no mistake: this is Terrence Magee’s team. He is the guy who owns the room, and he is the player that everyone else looks up to. This isn’t some courtesy award, Terrence Magee is the personification of what the #18 jersey stands for. He is the offensive version of Brandon Taylor, the responsible adult who gives everyone else the security to go off and freelance.


best part

Great article.

Title seems to be pulled from thin air, though.

This article is a clusterfrick. So did Fournette say "Terrence Magee is my favorite player"?
