Will Ashton Jeanty smash another Boise State record during Thursday’s first round of the 2025 NFL Draft ? Most draft experts expect the star running back to be among the first 10 selections in the NFL Draft, which runs Thursday through Saturday in Green Bay, Wisconsin. If the projections are correct, Jeanty will become the highest-drafted player in Boise State history. The honor currently belongs to offensive tackle Ryan Clady, who went 12th overall to the Denver Broncos in 2008.
NFL.com’s Daniel Jeremiah ranks Jeanty as the No. 3 overall prospect in the draft.
The 5-foot-8, 211-pound Jeanty produced one of the best running back seasons in college football history as a junior, turning 374 carries into 2,601 yards and 29 touchdowns. He led the country in all three categories en route to a second-place finish in the Heisman Trophy voting. Jeanty recorded an eye-popping 1,970 yards after contact while forcing 164 missed tackles.
His 2,601 yards rank second on the FBS all-time single-season rushing list, trailing only Barry Sanders’ 2,628 yards during the 1988 season. Jeanty helped lead Boise State to a 12-2 record and the program’s first College Football Playoff appearance last season. Keep up with Thursday’s first round of the NFL Draft with live updates.
