Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty Declares for NFL Draft After Record-Breaking Season

The Heisman Trophy runner-up and top running back prospect ends his college career with historic achievements and NFL aspirations.

Ashton Jeanty announced his decision to declare for the 2025 NFL Draft, forgoing his senior season at Boise State.
Jeanty rushed for 2,601 yards and 29 touchdowns in 2024, the second-most rushing yards in a single season in FBS history, behind Barry Sanders' 1988 record.
He led Boise State to a 12-2 record, a Mountain West title, and their first College Football Playoff appearance, though they fell to Penn State in the Fiesta Bowl.
The junior back holds Boise State's all-time rushing record with 4,769 yards and 50 touchdowns, earning Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year honors twice.
NFL scouts project Jeanty as the top running back in the draft, with some mock drafts suggesting he could be selected in the first round despite the league's recent trend of devaluing the position.
