Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty says it would "mean a lot" to earn his position's first Heisman Trophy since Derrick Henry in 2015.
"It would mean a lot, you know, not just for me but I think for the position of running backs," Jeanty said Friday on ESPN's SportsCenter.
"And then just the award itself, you know, cause lately its's been a, you know, Power-5 quarterback award, but just shedding light that no matter where you're at if you're a talented player you will be recognized and you will be rewarded for it."
Jeanty currently leads all college football players with 1,031 rushing yards for 16 rushing touchdowns through the first five games of his junior season.
