How’d he get to The Blue™?
A four-star recruit (per 247Sports) out of high school, Mr. Jeanty did a whole lot of stuff to garner a whole lot of accolades. Namely, per Broncosports.com: “…played on both sides of the ball in high school as a RB, WR, DE, OLB and S…in 12 games his senior season, Jeanty recorded 1,843 yards on 229 carries (8.0 yards/carry), and 810 yards on 41 receptions…scored 41 touchdowns (31 rushing, 10 receiving)…three-sport student-athlete, competing in football, basketball and track and field” He also started his football career in Italy, because he comes from a military family.
Jeanty had a lot of offers coming out of high school, with California and Kansas leading the P5 pack. After that there are some strong G5 schools in Air Force, Navy and, well…that’s kind of it (there’s a bunch more but that includes New Mexico and that’s just gross). He also got offers from Dartmouth and Pennsylvania. But he’s so super-smart that he knew to choose Boise State.
His high school highlights can be viewed here.
Nickname
“Smashton”
I mean…seriously
Look-alike
Rwandan-Scottish actor Ncuti Gatwa. He’s the new Dr. Who.
Career Highlights
Just read his bio from Boise State. It’s easier than listing it all here. Other than: being awesome.
2024 Prospectus
Reading the profile Hunter wrote for Jeanty last year, he said some pretty glowing things about the would-be superstar.
And still undersold it.
So I’m not REALLY going to try other than saying that this guy has the most legitimate Heisman chance since Kellen ‘The Chosen One’ Moore. The offense is just going to come down to “give Jeanty the ball and push the bad guys out of the way”. Or don’t, it won’t really matter.
Is he on Twitter?
Completely made up fact
Mr. Jeanty does not need to eat Wheaties to be great. He just is.
