Matthew Emmons-USA TODAY Sports

LSU senior running back Lanard Fournette has left the team, according to ESPN College Football writer Edward Aschoff.

quote:
Fournette, the younger brother of former LSU star and current Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette, graduated in May and withdrew from school on Wednesday, the source said.

The source said Lanard Fournette "just wants to move on with his life."

Fournette, a senior, carried the ball just 13 times for 36 yards and a touchdown in four games this season. During his four years with the Tigers, Fournette totaled just 162 rushing yards and two touchdowns.

Irrelevant to Z Evans... LF27 was gone regardless next season.

He had 4 yrs and didn't have to pay a thing. Just like his brother once stated

Good luck to him, hope life treats him well.

I actually like his burst better than CEH but for some reason he just wasn't used this year.

ChanceOfRainIsNever•55 months

Good luck Lanard you represented yourself and your family well. Thanks for being a Tiger

LSUTigerMN•55 months

Here to say the same thing. His brother has money, if my brother signed a contract like that, i sure as hell wouldn't have put my body through some SEC punishment. Thanks Lanard.

Just checked the roster on lsusports.net, already off of it.

Hopefully more touches will go to JE4

reauxl tigers•55 months

I think Ty Davis will be better

southsidedell•55 months

I think both will be real good. What a great problem to have.

Applaud him for graduating, but kind of confusing why he'd have put in so much work to get ready for this season and them leave while LSU football is at its highest point in quite a few years and looks like a serious CFP contender. I get that he's not getting a ton of playing time, but he's leaving early on what may be a very special season

yeauxkneauxit•55 months

Do what?

CaptainJ47•55 months

Best of luck young man

lsu480•55 months

The Rant should be thrilled

Glad he graduated and contributed to the Tigers. Wish he’d finish out what is shaping up to be a special year, but everyone has their reasons.

lsuohiofan•55 months

Okay! Dud wasn't going to be a superstar!

reauxl tigers•55 months

Best of luck kid, best of luck.

Undertow•55 months

I don’t blame him. He’s already graduated. He won’t play in NFL. Why go through week after week of grueling practices for just over 3 carries per game?

Tiger Prawn•55 months

Because LSU is looking like a team that is a legit CFP contender. He'll regret this decision if LSU makes a run and his teammates are playing in a national championship game while he's watching on TV. And one injury to CEH or Emery could easily have resulted in a bigger workload for LF.

Puzzling time to leave as a Sr. Team still has everything to play for. I guess he has his reasons. Best of luck.

GWfool•55 months

I would assume he is leaving now because he can redshirt and transfer somewhere to get playing time next year.

GWfool•55 months

Check that, this was his last year of eligibility.

AustinKnight•55 months

I mean look the guy a fantastic leader and teammate but let us not forget O gave him his chance and and as I watched from the seats at DKR every single time he got the ball in open field the lone tackler made the tackle end of story.
