Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty was named as the Doak Walker National Running Back of the Week, as announced by the Doak Walker Award Association Tuesday

Prior to the start of the 2024 college football season, most had probably never heard the name Ashton Jeanty before. Probably some still don’t. But week by week, the Boise State running back’s name is getting larger—and so are his numbers.

The Aggies only played against Jeanty for a half of their Mountain West Conference opener, as the Broncos star wasn’t needed at all in the second half as Boise State opened up a 49-17 first-half lead over Utah State, en route to a 62-30 win.
