Is Ashton Jeanty the Next Barry Sanders? Boise State’s Rushing Sensation on the Verge of History!
It’s unusual for the eye test to so perfectly match what every number says about a player’s skills. Jeanty’s low center of gravity helps him, but it’s worth noting here that he’s not a bowling ball-style back. He is a listed 215 pounds and lacks the wide frame that one would expect of a running back who physically overwhelms the opponent.
Yet Jeanty uncorks ridiculous power from a small frame.
Jeanty’s place in history might be up to Boise State.
Officially, the FBS single-season rushing record is 2,628 yards. That is what the NCAA credits Barry Sanders for his unprecedented 1988 season at Oklahoma State, which I dove into in detail a few years ago.
