LSU has a lot of talent, and apparently the SEC coaches agree. Especially when it comes to Leonard Fournette.
Fournette is among eight other players named to Coaches All-SEC preseason team. The sophomore running back was named first team running back and also on the second team in the All-Purpose player role.
An interesting selection to the All-SEC first team is Jalen Mills, who is out for four-to-six weeks after sustaining a leg injury in practice.
Here are the teams. An asterisk denotes a tie in voting at that position:
