Question about Leonard Fournette's rushing stats

I don't want this misconstrued because I just don't follow high school football enough but what I do know from watching Leonard Fournette's highlights is that he's an absolute beast.
My question is this- why the big drop between his junior and senior seasons?
Junior season: 2135 yards and a crazy 31 TDs.
Senior season: 1166 yards and just 10 TDs.
What this a just a bad year for St. Aug in general? Did opponents put 9 defenders in the box to stop him? Just wondering why such a large discrepancy between the two seasons.
Leonard, if you're reading this, please don't kill me. I know you're going to shatter records at LSU and can't wait to watch you run wild.

He's had A LOT of pressure for one. St Augs OLine was unreal his sophomore and junior seasons but had a decent drop off this year, and teams loaded up the box and tried to make the QB beat them. Not really a knock on him at all he's legit.

Pretty sure they took him out at the end of a good amount of games because of the score.

The last couple times I saw them on TV they were running 5 wide, with him at WR, on nearly every play.

3,697 all purpose yards in 2013, they moved him around more maybe?

The times I saw him they threw him the ball a good bit. Tried to move him around and get it to him in different ways.

Plus he had a good amount of return yardage.
He didn't run the ball 250, 350 like a lot of the other backs and he only played in 11 games.

Got more attention and more team roles.

Your stats are wrong. Fournette put up over 1700 yards rushing senior year.

One thing I noticed in the games I saw was they lined him up a lot at receiver with his brother at tailback. The game vs Jesuit he played more WR than RB I believe
