Boise State football running back Ashton Jeanty has been absolutely balling out this season, leading the country in rushing yards, and after another impressive performance in a Week 6 thrashing of Utah State, the Broncos star is now the Heisman betting favorite.

Before this past weekend, Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe was the frontrunner following a thrilling win over Georgia. However, the Crimson Tide were just upset by Vanderbilt while Jeanty shined. He was fourth in the Heisman odds at FanDuel at +750 before Week 6 and has moved up to +220. Colorado two-way standout Travis Hunter is second at +320, followed by Miami QB Cam Ward (+450) and Milroe, who has dropped all the way to +1000.

Jeanty had 13 carries in Saturday's victory for 186 yards, taking it to the house three times. He's also first in the NCAA with 16 rushing touchdowns. The Jacksonville, Florida native is averaging a mind-boggling 10.8 yards per carry. Sure, Jeanty may not be facing the same competition as Hunter, Ward, and Milroe, but the numbers he's posting on a weekly basis are truly remarkable.
