Boise State star Ashton Jeanty is becoming an underwear model with a new partnership

There are many ways college football fans can describe Boise State’s running back Ashton Jeanty.

He was a Heisman Trophy runner-up, a Maxwell Award winner, a Doak Walker Award winner and a unanimous All-America selection. But ahead of the NFL draft, fans can describe him as an underwear model.

Jeanty teamed up with SAXX last month to promote a line of men’s underwear, said to be comfortable underwear for every part of the male body. He told Fox News Digital that he never imagined in his wildest dreams that he would end up modeling underwear.

“I didn’t mean it that way, but, you know, things just kind of happen, and that’s the way it was,” he explained. “You know, hot guy, great runner, they want you to be a model for great underwear, so it just happened. I’m glad it did. He kind of took a step outside of my box.”

Jeanty said it was a Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Max Crosby who chose him to become part of the SAXX brand, and said that the partnership itself made sense to him.

“Just as a game-changer on the field, you have to have game-changing underwear,” he said. “I thought it was a perfect collaboration. The design, the comfort, all those things, it was great to work with them.”

Jeanty ran for 2,601 yards and 29 touchdowns in his final season at Boise State, nearly surpassing Barry Sanders’ single-season rushing record.

Boise State won the Mountain West Conference title and advanced to the quarterfinals of the College Football Playoff. The Broncos lost to Penn State.
