Ashton Jeanty Emerges as Heisman Contender

Former USC running back Reggie Bush has filed a lawsuit against USC, the NCAA, and the Pac-12, seeking compensation for the revenue he generated from merchandise sales and media rights during his celebrated 2005 season, in which he set numerous records and won the Heisman Trophy. Meanwhile, Boise State's Ashton Jeanty is making headlines in the college football realm, leading all FBS players with 845 rushing yards through five weeks, drawing comparisons to Barry Sanders' legendary 1988 season. Jeanty's explosive performance includes four games with over 200 rushing yards and a staggering average of 10.3 yards per carry, positioning him as a strong Heisman contender. His early season success has not only elevated his Heisman odds but also placed him on the radar for a potential first-round selection in the 2025 NFL Draft. As he continues to dominate, Jeanty's statistics and gameplay indicate he could rewrite college football records if he maintains this pace. The narratives of both Bush and Jeanty reflect the evolving landscape of college football, where past and present players are pushing for recognition and rewards.
