The 2025 FBS Running Back Poised to Eclipse Ashton Jeanty’s Legacy — Who Will It Be?
The Heisman Trophy runner-up and unanimous FBS All-American had 2,601 rushing yards, taking aim on, but falling just shy of breaking Sanders’ single-season rushing record of 2,628 yards in 1988, and created an unsolvable matchup nightmare while powering Boise State to the College Football Playoff.
The longer answer is more fun, though: While there won’t be a season this fall quite like Jeanty’s 2024 campaign, some running back is bound to succeed him in at least one way – shifting the championship race (playoff or even just conference) by outrunning his surroundings and single handedly elevating his offense to a new tier.
