Ashton Jeanty stats: Game log, Heisman Trophy odds for Boise State superstar RB
It's not often a non-Power Four player is among the brightest stars in college football.
But Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty has transcended "Power Four" and "Group of Five" football this season, ascending into superstardom.
Jeanty, a junior, is among the top contenders for the Heisman Trophy this season, as he's putting together one of the most prolific seasons in recent memory. The Jacksonville, Florida, native has 126 rushes for 1,248 yards with 17 touchdowns this season, averaging a whopping 9.9 yards per carry in six games.

The 5-foot-9 weapon is also on track to break Barry Sanders' single-season record of 2,628 rushing yards, as Jeanty still has six regular season games and potentially multiple postseason games between the Mountain West Championship and College Football Playoff — should Boise State reach the 12-team bracket.
The Lone Star High School graduate in Frisco, Texas, is a projected first-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft after being tabbed as a three-star recruit in the 2022 recruiting class.
