Ashton Jeanty stats: Boise State football star running back's game logs, rush yards, Heisman Trophy odds
Ashton Jeanty continues to take college football by storm in the midst of a historic season at Boise State while becoming a top-10 prospect in the upcoming NFL draft class.
Perhaps an extra layer of uniqueness to Jeanty's season is that it is coming in the Mountain West and at Boise State (a "Group of Five" program) and not at the "Power Four" level.
The 5-foot-9 running back is coming off an outing against UNLV in which he touched the ball 33 times and ran for 128 rushing yards with a rushing touchdown. He leads the country in rushing and is second in rushing touchdowns and remains in contention to become the first running back since Alabama's Derrick Henry to win the Heisman Trophy Award.
Jeanty's 128 rushing yards last week vs. UNLV tied former Boise State running back Jay Ajayi's record for the program record for most consecutive games with 100-plus yards rushing at seven. His rushing touchdown in the third quarter was his 18th score of the season — which also tied him with Ajayi for sixth place in a single season.
Entering Week 10 of the college football season, Jeanty also remains on pace to break one of college football's longest-standing records by a running back: Barry Sanders' NCAA single-season rushing record that he set at Oklahoma State in 1988.
Here's a look at Jeanty's stats this season, including a game log from his games this season and how far off he is from Sanders' record:
