Leonard Fournette stands 6-1 and weighs in at 226 pounds of muscle.
He's the perfect blend of speed, power, balance, vision and determination in college football today.
The LSU running back can do anything with a football. He can run with it, pass it and catch it. His skill-set has All-Pro written all over it.
Coming out of St. Augustine in New Orleans, he was the consensus No. 1 recruit in the country and was named offensive player of the Year by USA Today.
As a freshman at LSU in 2014, he rushed for 1,034 yards and 10 touchdowns on 187 carries, starting six of the Tigers' 13 games. He also returned 24 kicks for 625 yards, including a 100-yard touchdown.
Fournette ran for 1,953 yards on 300 carries with 22 touchdowns as a sophomore. He also caught 19 passes for another 253 yards and a touchdown.
It is no small wonder he is the preseason favorite to win the Heisman Trophy.
Yet, if there was a humanitarian award for college football -- the Reggie White Award would be a good way to start -- he apparently would be just as much the favorite for that trophy.
A few weeks ago, Fournette was seen in a Baton Rouge grocery store with a basket full of groceries. It took some research -- because he wasn't admitting it -- but Fournette reportedly was buying food for a less fortunate family.
Last week at SEC media days, "Buga," as he is called by friends and family, disappeared for a few minutes before he was called to talk to members of the media.
In front of hundreds of reporters, Fournette was charming, witty and he talked football. And for the second consecutive year, Fournette pointed to Georgia's Nick Chubb as being the SEC's best back.
Fournette was asked about how important it is to win the Heisman Trophy in his last season.
"I didn't say it was my last year," he said quickly, getting a laugh.
He's a junior, but is on course to graduate next summer.
Of course, he was asked about tweeting a picture of himself in a T-shirt with Alton Sterling's picture on it. Sterling was shot and killed nearly two weeks ago by Baton Rouge police, setting off a series of protests that resulted in 138 arrests.
"I did what my heart told me to do," Fournette said. "I have a voice in the city where I'm from, in Louisiana. My whole meaning towards that was pray until a change comes -- not just in BR, but everywhere in the world."
He mentioned prayer numerous times during his visit for media days.
Sunday, Fournette again turned to his twitter account after three Baton Rouge policemen were killed and three more were injured by a gunman, who also died in the incident.
"Remember, God sees no color, race, nor gender we are all the same," he wrote.
All of this from a young man who turned 21 this year. The son of Leonard and Lory Fournette is a shining example of what an athlete can be in times of trouble.
Several other current and former Tigers also turned to twitter asking for prayers and peace. For kindness, love and forgiveness.
"Wake up!!!!Pray harder everyday.... Our kids have to grow up in this generation," tweeted quarterback Brandon Harris.
As a team and individuals, the Tigers care about what is happening in their city.
This personal side of Fournette is refreshing, especially in the days when the word ego can't always cover the attitudes of many athletes.
Fournette is doing his part for healing, whether it is reaching out and making a difference with groceries or sharing his faith.
And last Thursday when he disappeared at SEC media days, it was to sign autographs for a policeman and his family.
