BOISE, Idaho – Boise State junior Ashton Jeanty was named to the Reese's Senior Bowl Midseason All-America team, the organization announced Thursday. The running back leads the FBS in rushing yards (1,031), rushing touchdowns (16), yards per rush (10.9), rushing yards per game (206.2), yards after contact (755) and forced missed tackles (50 ). The HEI2MAN candidate has helped the Broncos to a 4-1 record and No. 17 ranking in the AP poll.

Jeanty has scored more total touchdowns than 36 FBS teams and only 10 FBS teams have scored more rushing touchdowns. His yards-after-contact mark of 755 is higher than the total rushing yards of all but two FBS players. He became the eighth player since 1996 to rush for more than 1,000 yards in five games, a feat he accomplished in 16 quarters after sitting out the second half of the Portland State and Utah State contests. He has seven carries for 60 yards, three more than any other FBS team.

Jeanty opened the 2024 season with a school-record 267 yards and six touchdowns in Boise State's 56-45 win over Georgia Southern. He followed that with a 192-yard, three-touchdown performance at #7/6 Oregon, the Broncos' only loss of the season. Against Portland State, he recorded 127 rushing yards on 11 attempts in Boise State's 56-24 win.

In Boise State's 45-24 win over Washington State, Jeanty was dominant with 259 yards and four touchdowns. He gained 233 yards after contact and forced 18 missed tackles, scoring touchdowns of 64 and 59 yards. Last week, the HEI2MAN candidate rushed for 186 yards and three touchdowns on 13 carries, leading the Broncos to a 62-30 win over Utah State in their conference opener. This included a 75-yard touchdown run, giving him the Mountain West record for most 70-yard touchdown runs in a season (4).

Jeanty's list of achievements is five games long. He was named Doak Walker National Running Back of the Week three times and Mountain West Offensive Player of the Week four times. He has a 99.8 rushing grade on Pro Football Focus, nearly nine points higher than any running back who averages 10 or more rushes per game. Since 2013, no FBS running back has recorded a PFF grade above 96.5 in a season.

Led by Spencer Danielson In its first full season, Boise State hopes to become the first Mountain West program to win back-to-back championships since San Diego State in the 2015-16 season. Achieving such a feat will put Boise State in the discussion for the new, expanded, 12-team College Football Playoff format that begins this fall. Last year, Danielson became the first coach in college football history to win a conference championship with an interim title.
