I want to dive into the incredible season that Ashton Jeanty is having. If you haven’t been paying attention, let me fill you in—this guy hasn’t missed a beat regarding dominating opposing defenses.
Just last week, in his Week 5 performance, Jeanty compiled an astonishing 259 yards and scored four touchdowns. But what really caught my eye? He racked up an incredible 234 yards after contact. That’s right—234 yards after being hit. It’s a testament to his strength, agility, and sheer determination on the field.
Here’s something to think about: across the first five weeks of the season, nine Mountain West players have posted at least 234 total rushing yards. But Jeanty? He alone accumulated 234 yards *after contact* in the win over Washington State. Talk about being a game-changer!
In addition to his remarkable yardage, Jeanty is the only player in the FBS with multiple games where he’s found the end zone four times. When it comes to rushing yards and rushing touchdowns, he’s currently ranked number one in both categories.
And let’s be honest, I don’t see this dominance stopping anytime soon. He was just named the Mountain West Player of the Week for the third time this season, reinforcing his status as a the MW best offensive player.
You’ve got to appreciate the impact he’s having on the scoreboard, too. Jeanty is responsible for an average of 19.5 points per game—leading all college football players. This not only reflects his personal stats but also his ability to lift the entire team’s performance.
Let’s not forget his explosive plays either. Six teams across college football have at least six plays of 50+ yards this season, but Jeanty himself has matched that total, giving him more than one per game. This explosiveness makes him a constant threat, keeping defenses on their toes.
As we look ahead to the rest of the season, keep your eyes on Ashton Jeanty. If he keeps this up, we’re in for a historic ride! His performance not only excites fans but also sets a new standard for excellence in college football. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just tuning in, Jeanty is a player you won’t want to miss.
