Leonard Fournette has already played his last college football game for LSU, so there's no particular shock in seeing the star running back get a jump start on his business affairs in advance of the 2017 NFL Draft. On Monday, Fournette was announced as the latest high-profile athlete to join Jay-Z's Roc Nation Sports.


Fournette joins Roc Nation's growing list of stars that includes Kevin Durant, Dez Bryant, Todd Gurley and many others from professional football, basketball, baseball and boxing.

Over the weekend, Fournette announced that the ankle injury which cost him five games this season will also keep him out of the bowl game, meaning his attention is turning from LSU's 2016 campaign to the NFL Draft.

"This is one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make, not playing in the bowl, but it's best for me and my future," Fournette said. "It was hard telling the guys. I love them dearly. You grow so close together through this. I'll forever thank them and support them."

Fournette finishes his career with 3,830 rushing yards and 40 touchdowns in three seasons. He also caught 41 passes for another 526 yards and a score.
