After four weeks of the college football season, as far as Las Vegas goes, Leonard Fournette is a lock to win the Heisman

Through four weeks of the college football season thus far, there are still a lot of things that we don’t know about a lot of teams and/or specific players. However, one thing that we do know for certain is that LSU Tigers running back Leonard Fournette is really good at running the football. So good, in fact, that many believe him to be the runaway leader for the Heisman Trophy at this point.

But, as far as Las Vegas goes, how big of a favorite exactly is Fournette? Well, as we head into Week Five of the season, you can pretty much consider him a lock.

According to the latest Heisman odds that were released by Bovada, after his performance against the Syracuse Orange this past weekend, the LSU running back made a pretty big jump from the week before.


As far as betting odds go, this is definitely his prize to lose this season. But, you really can’t blame them. While we have seen some great individual performances from other players, no one has really come close to the former No. 1 recruit in the country.

So far this year, Fournette has rushed for an incredible 631 yards through three games with eight touchdowns. He’s averaging a staggering 8.6 yards per carry, so he’s essentially picking up a first down every time they put the ball in his hands.

Yes, this is his to lose going forward with still a lot of football to play yet.
