While breaking into the national scene and engraved in the 2024 record books during his junior season, Jeanty experienced a similar success as a student.
However, Montgomery said that the plan entering Jeanty’s second -grade Jeanty season was that it would be part of a “two -headed monster”.
“It was kind of crazy, because I went into the season ’23. I thought it would be a two-headed monster, but George (Holani) eventually got injured in another play opposite UW. Somehow I knew that Ash was ready to take over that no. 1, a kind of role in the hinter
Jeanty ran 1347 meters with 14 rush Touchdown, while he was an average sparkling 6.1 yard on an attempt, while capturing 43 passes for 569 meters with five loades of Touchdown in his second year.
Although Jeanty took over the lead role, the Holani was also productive. He ran 748 meters and seven Touchdown. After that season, the Holani signed with Seattle Seahawksand is currently in their department.

“Type of” Moment of Light Emping “, last year we led a duo in Spring Ball -I saw the way he pressed the hole and movements he did. Because somehow I say, when we run the duo, we have no jumpers,” Montgomery said.
“And I always say you fall off the table, and you find a groove because you read the first side of the player. And he fell off the table, found a groove, then reached the free hat, made him miss and looked at me with a big smile and knew exactly that, the bulb was really involved.” Said Montgomery with a smile.
Montgomery said that during the spring he and Jeanty peeled the layers and crossed the football 101, 201 and 301, which allowed the two to talk about the game at a higher level.
Jeanty continued to train as strongly as always and improved his mental understanding of the game. Montgomery said Jeanty called his off -season preparations in a “dark way.”
“He really didn’t work much in the spring and the summer went into that season, but just works. We have one of the most difficult training sessions in the country. We drove the top deck, and he went through every deck last summer with a weight vest, so it was kind of crazy to see him doing it, and he never lost his tail,” Montgomery said.
“If you just looked at him in practice, he’s first for every exercise we do, whether it’s an insult or special team, and then just the amount of effort he made every day. It was somehow crazy because he didn’t take too much live action in the spring ball, so we thought we probably tried to get him to him, and he came to it.

And Montgomery was right. Jeanty didn’t need to.
IN The state of Boise The opening of the game last season against Georgia Southern, Jeanty had 20 carriers for 267 meters and six Touchdown, setting up statistics you could find in the video game in their 56-45 victory.
After that performance, Montgomery knew Jeanty had the opportunity to do something special.
“When you started the 1st week with 267 (yards), I knew we had the opportunity to do something really special. And even for me, I had to block the outer noise. I couldn’t be on Twitter, I couldn’t just be:” Yes, we were so dear, “because I knew we just wanted to be better,” Montgomery said.
“At first, the goal was two thousand meters, and when we started surpassing it and approaching it, we just wanted to continue to push. I would remember that sometimes it would be in the game,” We didn’t finish, let’s just continue, “because I had a coach in the day when I always said,” I could always find myself a little more, and I wanted it, and I wanted to convince myself. “”
This approach functioned well for Jeanty and Boise State Broncos.
Since Jeanty led the offensive, Broncos went 12-2 and won the Mountain West conference. Broncos were the number 3 seed in the College Football playoffs and arrived at Fiesta Bowl, where they were defeated by Penn State 31-14.

The unbelieving season of Jeanty almost landed his Heisman trophy. Colorado -ov Travis Hunter He had 552 votes in the first place, beating Jeanty’s 309, making him his closest vote since 2009.
Montgomery will not say if Jeanty was supposed to win in Heisman.
“I mean, I really don’t comment too much, because I have a strong bias when it comes to that,” Montgomery said with a smile.
“I have to work with him every day and I know how good he is from a person and I know what he could do for our program and how he raised us so we could get to the place where we were at the end of this year and I know how he worked hard and that he struggled with injuries and how it was to take care of his body.
The conversation about Heisman between Jeanty and Hunter raged throughout the season, and the hot discussed until the moment it was announced.
Montgomery said the racing style that Jeanty runs and made him so successful, reminds him of Philadelphia Eagles legend.
“I think Brian Westbrook is a day at the time,” Montgomery said. “But I think he’s a blend of many guys. If he had 5’10 215 (pounds) you would say that he is probably a lot (from Ladainiana Tomlinson), you know what I mean, so I think the mix of many guys. The rude thing is the way the guys can miss, and his contact is special.

As for if he wants Jeanty to land with a particular team or in the style of a game in the NFL draft, Montgomery is convinced that he will succeed in choosing it.
“As a coach and as his coach, you obviously want to choose him high, but the other part of it you want him to go into a situation that has a really good (offensive line). So, there is that you want to go to the top 10, but maybe if he left 18, maybe he would get to a better O-Lini, there is that fine balance,” Montgomery said.
“I mean any scheme, we have a pretty foul here in style and we have launched every scheme that you can start: inside the zone, the outer zone, duo, power, crack, throwing cracks, as we led each scheme. He understands how all of them set up, and he knows all the blocking schemes when all these things come.
When Jeanty switched to NFL, he leaves behind a huge hole in the state crossing and the Boise team. Montgomery knows he has no replacement.
“He was the leader of my room and was the captain of my team and he is Going to Go Down as the One of the All-Time Greats Here. Its not Trying to replace Him, it’s trying to make Sure and Build the Best Room and Can As Pesible. One of the Best Things and they sawa hard he worked. One of the Things We Always Is Leave It Better Than You Found It, and Having His Presence in Our Room, they All Understand The Shoes, “Montgomery Said.
“This is not exactly the pressure for them because it is their big brother, they want to be like him, and they want everyone to get their hits and go out there and maintain a tradition alive. We definitely have to fill some big shoes, but I don’t think we will repeat anything because everyone is different, and he is obviously a special talent.”

Not only will Montgomery miss the player, but he is also a person Jeanty.
“He’s such a fun fun child.
