Ashton Jeanty is one of the four finalists for the Heisman Trophy, and he did something different on Friday from the other finalists.
The four finalists for the Heisman Trophy are Jeanty, Colorado’s Travis Hunter, Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel, and Miami’s Cam Ward. The ceremony where the winner will be announced is scheduled for Saturday night, so the finalists spent time meeting with the media on Friday.
The four players conducted interviews and took photos for the media. Jeanty, who is a junior running back at Boise State, was the only player wearing team gear.
When asked about his clothing choice, Jeanty noted that the Heisman pamphlet recommended finalists wear their team gear. But he added some more reasons for his decision.
“Regardless, I was going to wear it anyways. I wouldn’t be here without Boise State. Just want to represent my school. I feel like it’s important,” Jeanty said.
