Boise State | Hometown: Jacksonville, FL | HT: 5084 | WT: 211 | 40 time: N/A | Hand: 0938 | Arm: 2934 | Wing: 7234
Junior entry, two-year starter. Three-time All-Mountain West. Two-time All America, first team in 2024 in addition to winning both the Doak Walker and Maxwell Awards. His 2,601 yards in 2024 were the second most in FBS single season history, trailing only Barry Sanders. Rocked up frame, head to toe. A do-it-all back, Jeanty specializes in breaking tackles. Led the nation over the past two years. Bounces off defenders like he assumes he is not being taken down by initial contact. From the humble beginnings of growing up and learning the game in Italy to moving to Texas for high school football, from turning down high-paying transfer portal offers to finishing second in the Heisman voting, his journey is both unique and rare. It led him to finishing as one of the most complete backs to ever come out with production, explosion, and efficiency all wrapped into one. This is a back who can be one of the best in the league during his rookie contract. Immense play-strength that creates elite contact balance. Tough to square up and fast enough to gain initial positional advantages. Speed in the open field will create explosive plays. Had twice as many 70, 60, and 50-yard runs as the next back nationally. Desire and grit get the most out of his special tool set. Solid effort and skill in pass protection as well. Comfortable hands as a receiver and rarely fumbles. Plays a lot of mistake-free football. Will show tightness in his lower half when he tries to cut back. Needs better hand technique to sustain a block Will need to play with a little more urgency near the line of scrimmage. Does have some tightness in his hips. Did not run an array of routes out of the backfield.
2024 Stats: 2601 yds, 6.9 ypc, 29 TD, 23 rec, 138 yds, 6.0 ypr, 1 TD. Draft projection: 1st round
