Good Morning Bronco Nation 12/16: A Night To Remember
Today, Jeanty finishes runner-up in the Heisman race and men’s basketball adds another to the win column
Good morning! Uncommon, built different and an outstanding representative of Boise State, Ashton Jeanty had a season to remember and luckily for Bronco Nation, the job isn’t finished yet.
What else is brewing in today’s edition, Bronco Nation?
🏈 Jeanty finishes runner-up in the Heisman race

🔷 And much, much more!
📈 STOCK UP
🔼 A Season To Remember. Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty finished second in the 90th Heisman Trophy voting after a prolific 2024 season. The second-place finish is the highest by any player in Boise State history. Jeanty tallied a total of 2,017 points, including 309 first-place votes as Colorado’s Travis Hunter's victory was the narrowest margin of victory since 2009.

🔼 Thrilling Win. In an overtime thriller featuring seven ties and four lead changes, Boise State defeated Saint Mary's, 67-65, on Saturday night in a neutral site game at the Mountain America Center. Four Broncos scored in double figures as the team was led by Tyson Degenhart who scored a game-high 19 points. With the win, the Broncos improved to 7-3 on the season while handing the Gaels their second loss of the 2024-25 campaign.
🔼 The End Goal. Boise State Athletics is proud to announce 19 current and former student-athletes who earned degrees Saturday, as part of the 2024 Boise State University Winter Commencement at ExtraMile Arena. The group represents six different sports and the graduate assistant program. A graduation reception was held Friday, for those graduates and their families.
🔼 Double Trouble. For the first time in program history, two Boise State Broncos earned Walter Camp All-America honors, as the organization placed running back Ashton Jeanty on the first team and offensive lineman Kage Casey on the second team. They are the first Bronco offensive players to garner recognition since current co-offensive coordinator Nate Potter, who was a consensus All-American as an offensive lineman in 2011.
