🔼 Double Dose. National voters took notice of Ashton Jeanty's dominant 2024 campaign, crowning him the winner of the 35th Doak Walker Award as the nation's premier running back and the 88th Maxwell Award which is awarded to the player of the year. He is the first player to earn both awards since Derrick Henry (Alabama, 2015) and the only Group of 5 player to earn both in the same season. Jeanty has outrushed 115 FBS teams this season, tallying 2,497 rushing yards, which ranks fourth in FBS single-season history.
