The 21-year-old race ran back in 2,601 yards and 29 touchdowns, average an astonishing seven meters per year. Attempts and ended his season with the second most yards in a single season in college football history. Only Barry Sanders had several meters in a single season.

Jeanty’s running backs coach, James Montgomery, recently spoke with Pakinomist Digital to discuss the player’s historic season.

While embarking on the national scene and etching himself into the record books in 2024 in his junior season, Jeanty saw similar success as another.

However, Montgomery said the plan that went into Jeanty’s second season was that he would be part of a “two -headed monster.”

“It was a bit crazy because I went into the ’23 season, I thought it would be a two-headed monster, but George (Holani) ended up being injured on the other spectacle versus uw. I knew Ash was ready to take over the # 1, kind of starring role in the back field, and I mean, we really didn’t have a choice,” said Montgomery with a smile.

Jeanty ran in 1,347 yards with 14 rushing touchdowns, while on average he was a sparkling 6.1 meters per day. Attempts while caught 43 passes in 569 yards with five receiving touchdowns in his second season.

Although Jeanty took over the lead role, Holani was also productive. He ran in 748 yards and seven touchdowns. After that season, Holani signed with Seattle Seahawks and is currently on their training team.

With Holani in the NFL, it was up to Jeanty to build on his strong second season and carry the load.

Montgomery saw the beginning of a special junior year percolate in jump ball.

“The kind of ‘light -flocking moment’ we ran a duo game in Spring Ball last year and I saw the way he pressed the hole and the movements he did. Because I say when we run the duo, we don’t have any jumpcuts,” Montgomery said.

“And I always say you fall off the table and you find the chess because you read the first play side of the baker. And he fell off the table, found the chess, then came to the free hat, made him miss and then back on me with a big smile and I knew exactly, yes, the pear is really turned on.” Montgomery said with a smile.

Montgomery said he and Jeanty peeled the layers during the spring and went from football 101, 201 and 301, enabling the two to talk about the game at a higher level.

Jeanty continued to train as hard as ever and improved his mental understanding of the game. Montgomery said Jeanty called his offseason -preparations “dark condition.”

“He really didn’t do much in the spring and summer that went into that season but just work. We have one of the hardest training in the country. We are running the top deck and he ran each deck of last summer with a weight vest on, so it was a little crazy to see him do it and he never lost a rep,” Montgomery said.

“If you’ve just seen him on practice, he is first in line for every exercise we do, whether it is a breach or special team, and then just the amount of effort he brought every single day. It was a little crazy because he didn’t take too much live action in Spring Ball, so we thought in autumn camp that we would probably try to get him a few pops to tackle him and he came out like a mad man in the fall of the fall in the fall, That we would, we need he needs him. ”

And Montgomery was right. Jeanty didn’t need it.

In Boise State’s opening match last season against Georgia Southern, Jeanty had 20 carrier in 267 yards and six touchdowns, which set up statistics you might find in a video game in their 56-45 win.

Montgomery knew right after this notion that Jeanty had a chance to do something special.

“When you started week 1 with 267 (yards), I knew we had a chance to do something really special. And even for me, I had to block the outside noise. I couldn’t be on Twitter, I couldn’t just be, ‘yes, we’re so sweet’ because I knew we just wanted to get better,” Montgomery said.

“Two thousand meters were our goal originally our goal, and once we started surpassing it and getting close to it, we would just continue to push. I would remember that sometimes there would be in the game, ‘We’re not done, just keep going’ because I never had a coach back on the day when I came up that always said, ‘You can always get a little more,’ and I wanted to make sure he Long games and we played a race and we have a race and it ran a race, it was a long time on the early one, because it’s because it’s long and we are and we are playing and we have once, and it ran a lot on a lot of longed of longed time at the early one because it is because it is long and we have a long and we played and ran and ran and ran by Lot of Lot of Lot of Lot of Lot of Lot of Lot of it Because it was because it is long and we are and we we played and we have a race and it ran a lot of long -off of the long of the country in play, ‘Hi, bro, we have to go on, it’s not over.’ ”

This approach worked well for Jeanty and Boise State Broncos.

With Jeanty leading offensively, Broncos went 12-2 and won the Mountain West Conference. Broncos was No. 3 Seeds in College Football End Games and came to the Fiesta Bowl, where they were defeated by Penn State 31-14.

Jeanty’s incredible season almost landed him The Heisman Trophy. Colorado’s Travis Hunter had 552 votes in first place and beat Jeanty’s 309, making it the nearest vote since 2009.

Montgomery won’t say if Jeanty should have won Heisman.

“I mean I really don’t comment on it too much because I have a strong bias when it comes to it,” Montgomery said with a laugh.

“I got to work with him every day and I know how good of someone he is and I know what he was able to do for our program and how he raised us to even get to the place we were at the end of this year and I know how hard he was working and how he fought through injuries and how he took care of his body’s day in, how he was a true bias, but you can’t take off his body of something on which you were something in which you were on something on which you were on something, by which he was on something on which you were on something, by which he was on something where Trav Hunter was able to do.

The Heisman conversation between Jeanty and Hunter raged throughout the season and was hotly discussed until the moment it was announced.

Montgomery said that the running style that Jeanty is running and made him so successful reminds him of a Philadelphia Eagles legend.

“I think Brian Westbrook back from the day,” Montgomery said. “But I think he’s a mixture of many guys. If he was 5’10 215 (pound), you would say he is probably a lot (of Ladainian Tomlinson) in there, you know what I mean, so I think he’s a mixture of many guys. The creepy thing is the way he can make guys miss out and his contact balance is special.”

As for, if he wants Jeanty to land with a particular team or play style in the NFL draft, Montgomery is convinced he will thrive, which team chooses him.

“As a coach and as his coach, of course, you want him to be picked high, but the second piece of it is that you want him to go to a situation that has a really good (offensive line). So there’s that you want him to go top 10, but maybe if he went 18, he can get to a better o-line that is the fine balance,” Montgomery said.

“I mean every scheme, we run a pretty pro-style violation here, and we drove every scheme you can run: Inside Zone, Outside Zone, Duo, Power, Counter, Throw Crack As We Run Every Scheme oine. “

When Jeanty advances to the NFL, he leaves a huge gap in Boise State overgrowth and team. Montgomery knows that there is no substitute for him.

“He was the leader of my room and was the captain of my team, and he will go down as one of those times here. It is not trying to replace him, it tries to make sure I build the best space I can as possible. One of the best things I had is him about my young guys and they saw how hard he worked. The shadows, “m. said.

“It’s not really pressure for them because it’s their big bridge, they want to be like him, and they’ll all get their shots and come out there and keep tradition alive. Definitely we have some big shoes to fill, but I don’t think we’ll repeat anything because everyone is different and he’s obviously a special talent.”

Not only will Montgomery miss the player, but the person Jeanty is too.

“He’s such a funny kind of amazing child, but the things I want to miss is his ability to have fun. As if he wants to dance before a snap in practice because you got the music and all that, and then just to see two seconds before the snap lock and just go,” Montgomery said.

Montgomery and the rest of the football find out which team chooses the “special talent”, which is Jeanty on Thursday, April 24, when the first round of the NFL Draft will take place in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
