Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, a Heisman Trophy candidate, has confirmed that this season will be his last at the university. Jeanty, who has rushed for 2,288 yards this season, is now the all-time career rushing leader at Boise State, surpassing Cedric Minter's record of 4,475 yards. In the Mountain West Championship game, Jeanty made a significant impact early, rushing for 18 yards on his first carry and later adding a 75-yard touchdown run, helping Boise State take a 21-0 lead before halftime. His performance in this game has put him at 2,420 rushing yards for the season, moving him past Marcus Allen for the No. 4 spot on the all-time single-season rushing list. Jeanty's achievements are notable, although he has faced criticism for not playing against top-ranked defenses, with UNLV being one of the few exceptions.
