COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty and San José State wide receiver Nick Nash earned first-team honors on the 2024 Sporting News College Football All-America Team, as announced Wednesday.

The duo also earned first-team distinction on The Associated Press, AFCA, FWAA and Walter Camp All-America teams, securing consensus honors.

Jeanty, the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy who claimed the Maxwell Award as the national player of the year and the Doak Walker Award as the nation’s top running back, leads the FBS in several offensive categories, including rushing yards (2,497), rushing yards per game (192.1), rushing touchdowns (29), total offense (201.0), total points score (180) and total touchdowns (30) and has registered an FBS-record 143 forced missed tackles. The MW Offensive Player of the Year, who was also a finalist for the Walter Camp Player of the Year award and is a finalist for the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award, has helped the Broncos to the No. 9 spot in the final CFP rankings and the No. 3 seed in the College Football Playoff as the third-highest ranked conference champion. The Broncos will face either No. 6 seed Penn State or No. 11 seed SMU in the CFP quarterfinals at the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl on Dec. 31.

Nash, who was a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award, is just the fourth player to earn the FBS receiving triple crown in the regular season, as he finished leading the FBS in receptions (104), receiving yards (1,382) and receiving touchdowns (16). He also leads the country with 8.7 receptions per game and 115.2 yards per game and has thrown two touchdown passes this season. According to Pro Football Focus (PFF), Nash has 39 catches gaining 15 yards or more (first in nation) and 71 catches gaining a first down (first in nation). Nash, the first San José State player ever to be named to the Sporting News All-America First Team and only the second SJSU player to be named a Sporting News All-American, helped the Spartans qualify for their fourth bowl in five seasons, as SJSU will take on South Florida in the Hawai‘i Bowl on Dec. 24.
