There have been plenty of notable running backs throughout the years to come through Baton Rouge, Lousiana. One of the more notable names in Louisiana State Tigers history didn’t have eye-popping numbers by today’s standards but he made his mark. Billy Cannon was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame, was named a two-time SEC Player of the Year, and won the Heisman Trophy in 1959. His No. 20 jersey was retired by the Tigers.
From Billy Cannon to Clyde Edwards-Helaire and everywhere in between, the Tigers have seen success in their running game. Notable names that went onto the NFL include Leonard Fournette, Derrius Guice, Kevin Faulk, Joseph Addi, and Jeremy Hill.
