Ashton Jeanty is chasing history.
The Boise State Broncos running back finished his 2024 regular-season campaign with 2,288 rushing yards and 28 touchdowns.
Jeanty was the runaway leader in just about every conceivable rushing statistic this season. But he could be on track for even more. Legendary Oklahoma State Cowboys and Detroit Lions running back Barry Sanders holds the FBS records for most rushing yards and rushing touchdowns in a single season, posting 2,628 yards and 37 TDs in 1988.
Though Jeanty's regular-season campaign fell short of Sanders' respective bars in rushing yards and touchdowns, he's not done just yet. With Boise State playing for the Mountain West championship next weekend -- and eligible for the College Football Playoff -- Jeanty could play as many as five more games after the regular season ends.
