Ashton Jeanty (/ˈdʒɛnti/ JEN-tee; born December 2, 2003), is an American college football running back for the Boise State Broncos. In 2024, he won the Maxwell Award and Doak Walker Award and was the Heisman Trophy runner-up after leading the FBS in rushing yards and touchdowns.
Early life
[edit]Jeanty was born on December 2, 2003, in Jacksonville, Florida.[1][2] The son of a U.S. Navy chief petty officer, he first played football at Great Bridge Middle School in Chesapeake, Virginia. As a high school freshman at Naples Middle/High School, a school for military dependents near Naples, Italy, he was initially placed at quarterback before being moved to running back after two games. Playing against teams from other base schools throughout Europe, Jeanty ran for over 1,200 yards and scored 21 touchdowns in the team's six-game season.[3]
After that season, Jeanty told his parents that he wanted to return to the U.S. to play high school football.[3] He eventually attended Lone Star High School in Frisco, Texas, where he rushed for 1,843 yards with 41 total touchdowns as a senior.[4] He committed to Boise State University to play college football.[5]
College career
[edit]2022 season
[edit]As a true freshman at Boise State in 2022, Jeanty split playing time with George Holani. He played in all 14 games with two starts and finished the year with 821 yards on 156 carries and seven touchdowns.[6][7] In the 2022 Frisco Bowl, he rushed for 178 yards and a touchdown.[8]
2023 season
[edit]Jeanty returned to Boise State in 2023 [9] and again shared duties with Holani. During that season, Jeanty led the team in rushing yards with 1,347 and 14 touchdowns. He also had 569 receiving yards, the second highest on the team and the most of any running back in the nation,[10] and 5 receiving touchdowns. He was second in the nation in yards from scrimmage and was named the Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year.[11]
2024 season
[edit]In the 2024 season-opening game against Georgia Southern, Jeanty rushed for 267 yards, breaking a 46-year-old single-game record for Boise State,[12] and 6 touchdowns, which tied the Paulson Stadium record and the Mountain West record. His rushing performance was the best of any FBS rusher during Week 1. At the close of the 2024 regular season, Jeanty led the FBS in both yards from scrimmage and rushing yards, as well as both rushing touchdowns and total scoring.[13] Jeanty was given first-team All-Mountain West honors, as well as being named the conference's Offensive Player of the Year.[14]
Jeanty is said to be the top running back prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft and was runner-up for the Heisman Trophy.[15][16] Jeanty won the Maxwell Award and Doak Walker Award, being named a unanimous All-American by the Associated Press.[17][18]
