Boise State's Ashton Jeanty Reaches 2,000 Yards, Strengthens Heisman Case

The star running back delivered another standout performance against Wyoming, keeping Boise State's playoff hopes alive and fueling debate against Colorado's Travis Hunter for the Heisman Trophy.

Ashton Jeanty became the first FBS running back since 2019 to surpass 2,000 rushing yards in a season, achieving the milestone in just 11 games.
Jeanty recorded 169 rushing yards and a touchdown in Boise State's win over Wyoming, bringing his season total to 2,062 rushing yards and 27 touchdowns.
Despite briefly leaving the game due to injury, Jeanty returned to help set up a crucial touchdown late in the game, solidifying his impact on Boise State's offense.
Jeanty's Heisman candidacy is being compared to Colorado's Travis Hunter, a two-way player excelling as both a wide receiver and cornerback this season.
Boise State remains in contention for a Mountain West championship and a potential College Football Playoff spot, with Jeanty playing a pivotal role in their success.
