The 2025 FBS Running Back Poised to Eclipse Ashton Jeanty’s Legacy — Who Will It Be?
McKinney stands 5-8, 176. Someone has to replace Jeanty as the most-fun short running back in the G5, so why not McKinney? (To answer the question literally, UNM has a crowded running back room and a whole new coaching staff, so he’ll have to earn snaps.)
Sire Gaines, Boise State
While we’re hunting for another Jeanty, we should finish with the running back whose injury last season led to Jeanty taking an even-higher-than-expected share of Boise State’s carries.
In the season opener against Georgia Southern – a game that most will remember for Jeanty kick-starting his banner campaign – Gaines arrived fresh out of high school to carry 12 times for 110 yards and a touchdown and catch three passes for 44 yards and another score.
