Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette is literally paying it forward.

The former LSU running back responded to a tweet by a current LSU student Jhane Nichol who asked for contributions to a Go Fund Me account to pay for her senior year of college.

“I have (to) come out of pocket to pay for my senior year,” Nichol said. “It’s 10k for the entire year! I currently work (two) jobs for the other 5k! $1, $5 ANYTHING HELPS! I’ve come too far to stop here! Thank you everyone!”

According to a report on ESPN’s “Get Up” Friday, Nichol was a student trainer when Fourette was at LSU and he wanted to return the favor.

Fournette responded to the tweet asking for Nichol’s number and that he would “pay the rest” for her.
