COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty was named the Mountain West Offensive Player of the Week, the conference announced.
Jeanty had a historic night in Boise State's 34-31 win at San Diego State, rushing for a career-high 205 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries. He became the first Bronco to eclipse 200 rushing yards since 2018 and his total of 254 all-purpose yards is the highest single-game total by a MW player this season. His first touchdown was a highlight-reel, 58-yard rumble, where he broke several tackles before breaking away from the secondary. His second score, a 6-yard run, extended the Boise State lead to 34-24, securing a 24th consecutive conference-opening win for the Broncos.
Jeanty accounted for 12 of the team's 19 first downs and caught four passes for 49 yards, gaining 59 yards after catch. He accumulated 168 of his all-purpose yards in the second quarter. The sophomore leads the nation in all-purpose yards per game, averaging 173.0. This is the first time Jeanty has won MW Offensive Player of the Week and the second time he has garnered Player of the Week recognition from the conference. On Oct. 10, 2022, he was named MW Freshman of the Week after a 109-yard, two-touchdown performance against Fresno State.
