The 2025 FBS Running Back Poised to Eclipse Ashton Jeanty’s Legacy — Who Will It Be?

Bothwell is built like a slightly rounder Jeanty at a listed 5-foot-10, 230 pounds. (Jeanty played at an official 5-9 and 215 pounds last season.) He’s a great get for Mississippi State and should be a shot in the arm for a lousy offense.
The question is about durability and workload. As Bothwell rushed for 834 yards last season, his highest carry totals were 17, 14, 12, and 10, and those weren’t against the teeth of SEC defenses.
DeSean Bishop, Tennessee
Bishop looks like he’ll be the nominal starter in a Tennessee backfield that might use several players to replace fourth-round NFL pick Dylan Sampson. Although Simpson was the statistical strength of the Vols offense last year, he did not have great underlying numbers and owed a big chunk of his success to the light box counts he faced as defenses responded to coach Josh Heupuel’s ultra-spread-out attack.
