"No. 43" is a professional athlete and he obviously made a bad play, however…
21-y/o Marcus Williams had a pretty darn good rookie season. He racked up 73 TKL and 4 INT during the regular season.
Also, his 3rd quarter INT in today's game helped the #Saints even make it a game.

Ashton Jeanty walks off the field for the final time as a Bronco…
His final tally this season:
• 2,601 rushing yards (2nd most in NCAA history)
• 14 straight games with 100 yards rushing (Most in at least 25 seasons)
I’m confident in staying #BoiseState will never have another player quite like him.

He’s averaging 11.98 yards per catch. The math isn’t hard.
So, Hunter would have about 107 more receiving yards than Jeanty had rushing yards on his 95 **RUSHING ATTEMPTS** to start the season.

Our team overcame forfeitures to earn a spot in the tournament field and fought for the win over Utah State in the first round on Wednesday. They should not have to forgo this opportunity while waiting for a more thoughtful and better system that serves all athletes."

Soon-to-be NFL first round draft pick Ashton Jeanty (@AshtonJeanty2) will be a NIL case study for years to come.
He passed on a million dollar payday a year ago, putting trust in the #BoiseState program and its coaches.
He displayed two things rarely emphasized during the NIL era: loyalty and patience.
Ashton became the face of the program, broke records, and is seemingly beloved nationally now.
Was it worth it?
Well…
Here are the rookie contract values for the top 10 picks in the 2025 #NFLDraft over the next four years:
1. $43,010,000

He also has 3 receiving yards this season.
But 26 receiving yards AFTER the catch.
His PFF Elusive Rating currently ranks 14th in the NFL. Or, if you look at the 21 players with 30+ touches so far, Jeanty ranks 4th in that category.

Why?

I’ll say this…
After the arena emptied out, Dylan Andrews immediately got back out on the court and was practicing the shot he missed.
He probably made 10 in a row before you hear him say, “that was all we needed.”
Despite everything that happened over the first 59:27 of the game, #BoiseState still had a chance to win it...
• :33 - Andrew Meadow three pulls the Broncos within one (79-78)
• :25 - Broncos force a turnover
• :00 - Two misses right before the buzzer
