1. It👏wasn’t👏a👏surprise👏Maddux👏won👏the👏QB👏battle👏.
2. Ashton Jeanty is unreal. Obviously. But I really think he’ll go to another level this year because the offensive line is going to be really good too. Nobody is really talking about that group. https://t.co/fcQKhaLL8y

Ashton Jeanty recently squatted more than 600 pounds, and it “looked like a warm-up set.”

I chatted with Jeanty this past week about his insane strength, his height, and where it all comes from:https://t.co/wQREST0yaD
#BoiseState Latrell Caples describes him and Maddux Madsen as "connected." They arrive for practice at the same time, are locker neighbors.
— Shaun Goodwin (@ShaunGoodwinID) August 20, 2024
"Maddux is a hard worker, and everything he has, he deserved and he has earned. So I'm really happy for him, and our connection is great." pic.twitter.com/61O9rNTo1A
