Arkansas Razorbacks Land Star Running Back Ashton Jeanty from Boise State
The Arkansas Razorbacks have made a major splash in the college football world, officially signing star running back Ashton Jeanty from Boise State. This acquisition is a game-changer for the Razorbacks, as Jeanty is one of the most dynamic and productive players in college football.
Jeanty, who led the nation in rushing yards and touchdowns during the 2024 season, brings an elite level of talent to the Arkansas backfield. His outstanding season earned him the Maxwell Award, given to the best all-around player in college football, and a second-place finish in the Heisman Trophy race. Known for his explosive speed, vision, and ability to break tackles, Jeanty will undoubtedly elevate the Razorbacks’ offensive potential heading into the 2025 season.
During his time at Boise State, Jeanty shattered records and turned heads across the nation. He set a Boise State single-game rushing record with an incredible 267 yards and six touchdowns against Georgia Southern. Moreover, he surpassed 1,000 rushing yards in just five games, solidifying his place as one of the most consistent and dangerous playmakers in college football.
Razorbacks head coach Sam Pittman expressed his excitement about adding Jeanty to the team. “Ashton is a special talent, and we’re thrilled to welcome him to Razorback Nation,” Pittman said. “He’s not only an exceptional athlete but also a hard worker and leader. He’s going to make an immediate impact, and we can’t wait to see him in action.”
Jeanty’s addition comes at a crucial time for Arkansas, as the team looks to strengthen its offense and build on its recent performances in the SEC. With Jeanty in the backfield, the Razorbacks gain a player who can dominate games, create big plays, and provide stability in crucial moments.
For Jeanty, the move to Arkansas represents a new challenge and an opportunity to showcase his talents on one of college football’s biggest stages. “I’m excited to join the Razorbacks and compete in the SEC,” Jeanty said. “I’m grateful for my time at Boise State and for everything I learned there, but I’m ready for this next chapter. I can’t wait to get to work with my new teammates and coaches.”
As Arkansas fans celebrate this major signing, expectations for the 2025 season are already sky-high. With Jeanty leading the charge, the Razorbacks appear poised to compete at the highest level and make a serious push in the SEC. This signing is a clear statement that Arkansas is committed to building a powerhouse program, and Jeanty is just the player to help them achieve that goal.
Congratulations to the Arkansas Razorbacks on this significant addition!
