Week after week, college football is getting intense. When fans are busy enjoying games, analysts, insiders, and former legends are debating on Heisman Trophy contenders. For many, Deion Sanders’ two-way star is going to win the race this year. Hunter’s unique ability to excel on both offense and defense has caught the attention of many, positioning him as a formidable contender.

Meanwhile, Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe is also in the spotlight, showcasing his skills and making a strong case for the Heisman. With impressive performances under pressure, Milroe has solidified his status among the top contenders. But Heisman Trophy winner and former Florida star Tim Tebow believes a player from a non-power conference could take home college football’s top honor this year. While Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe and Colorado’s two-way start Travis Hunter have made strong cases for the award, Tebow is particularly impressed with Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty.

“I think is number one, and I don’t think it’s really close right now; it’s Ashton Jeanty. I think number two right now would, for me, be Travis Hunter. I think Cam Ward and Jalen Milroe are kind of right there in that three, four mix. But this kid, it’s unbelievable. Yeah, people will say, Hey, enter 45 yards, 13 scores, only four games.”

Jeanty has quickly become a standout running back for Boise State, demonstrating exceptional strength and balance. Tebow further emphasizes his stats: “But what’s stupid is he has 21 broken tackles in four games, in four games, as most in college football. On top of that, every time he carries the ball, when he gets hit, he gets 5.7 more yards after contact per rush. That’s the dumbest stat I’ve heard in a long time. Like this kid, by the way, he’s also from Jacksonville. Sorry about that, but he is an absolute freak, like you go to the weight room. Watch him live. It’s a joke. Watch his balance. Watch the way he’s breaking tackles, running through tackles, and making people miss, like I hope Heisman voters stay up at night because it’s your job and your responsibility.”

The Boise State Broncos are going to play their fifth game of the season soon against Washington State. Following the game, Tebow requested fans to support Ashton Jeanty and his team: “I don’t care that it’s late at night. You need to watch and do your job. And actually, who’s the best player? Yeah, and if he doesn’t get a lot of Heisman votes, then we did something horribly wrong.” With each game, these players have the opportunity to solidify their legacies and convert Heisman voters in their favor.

Ashton Jeanty is aiming to join the elite group of recent 2,000-yard rushing seasons

The Boise State Broncos’s running back has displayed some phenomenal performance in the last four weeks. The junior player is everyone’s favorite; he has appeared in all four games, and so far, he has completed 845 rushing yards. list only because of his performance. So far, he has appeared in all four games, and so far, he has completed 845 rushing yards. In three games, he has crossed the 190-yard mark, which speaks about his strength as a runner, except for the game against Portland State in the third week, where he had only 11 carries and didn’t play in the second half.

If the new talent keeps this speed, averaging 10.3 yards per carry, he can easily finish the season with 2,535 rushing yards. With these stats, he would find himself in a rare group of four college football players who have rushed over 2,000 yards in a single season in the last ten years.

Melvin Gordon, an American professional football running back who is a free agent now, rushed for 2,260 yards in 12 games and scored 26 touchdowns. That year, his performance helped the Wisconsin Badgers recover from an early loss to LSU to win 10 out of their last 11 games.

The second player is Rashaad Penny, an American former football running back who played for six seasons in the National Football League. Penny was a backup to Donnel Pumphrey. He not only matched Pumphrey’s performance but exceeded it. He finished the regular season with 2,027 rushing yards, averaging nearly 7.5 yards per carry. After some tough games against Boise State and Fresno State, Penny bounced back by having four straight games with over 200 rushing yards.

In 2014, Tevin Coleman’s team, the Indiana Hoosiers, had a tough season. But the running back stepped up and displayed impressive performance. Before the 2014 season, he had never rushed for more than 1,000 yards in a season, but as a junior, he achieved 2,036 rushing yards. Despite the team’s struggles and finishing with a record of 4-8.

After witnessing his strong game plan, the Texas Longhorns gave him more opportunities. He completed 2,028 rushing yards during a tough season for the team. The same season, Texas ended with a record of 5-7 and missed a bowl game. Foreman had a productive year with multiple touchdowns in eight games and over 150 rushing yards in seven games.
