Ashton Jeanty

Jeanty ranks among the best do-it-all backs in college football, serving as a workhorse to the tune of 220 carries for 1,347 yards and 14 touchdowns while supplying another 43 catches for 569 yards and five scores as a receiver. He ranked second to only Ollie Gordon in terms of fantasy production in 2023, and the pair of backs are the clear 1-2 to come off the board entering 2024 as well. Taylen Green is gone, but Malachi Nelson figures to be a more than capable replacement. It's quite plausible for Jeanty's touch count to ascend further in 2024 with Green, who accounted for around a 14 percent carry share last season, transferring to Arkansas and a less run-heavy quarterback in Nelson slated to take over. George Holani, the one experienced back from last year's roster, has also graduated, leaving inexperience behind Jeanty in the backfield in an explosive Boist State offense. Jeanty will also accommodate Dirk Koetter as the offensive coordinator again after a single season under Bush Hamdan, though Jeanty and Koetter were under the same offensive umbrella in 2022 as well.
