Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette stepped up to help a student from his alma mater pay for her final year of college.

On Monday, Jhane Lowsoo, a fifth-year senior at LSU, tweeted a link to a GoFundMe page she started to raise money to help cover half of the $10,000 she owes in tuition (she has since made her Twitter account private). Lowsoo is no longer eligible for TOPS, a financial aid program for Louisiana students, and has been working two jobs to pay for the other half.

Fournette saw Lowsoo's tweet, and said he'd cover the rest:

Lowsoo had raised $1,680 of her $5,000 goal when Fournette made the offer, according to Jacksonville's SportsRadio 930.
