It typically takes a village to raise a superstar in the world of college football. However, this statement might not necessarily be true when it comes to Ashton Jeanty. The Boise State running back did all he could in order to get his squad to the College Football Playoff and it even got him a Heisman Trophy finalist spot. However, there are a lot of questions when it comes to his family life and this article will attempt to unearth them.
Much like most stars in the NFL and in the world of football, Ashton Jeanty's stomping grounds were in Florida. He was born and raised in Jacksonville. His experiences in high school football, even when he was just starting out, prompted him to become this elite star at Boise State. But, it was primarily his father who took care of him because the identity of his mother is unknown to most.
The Heisman Trophy finalist's father is Harry Jeanty. He was a chief petty officer for the US Navy and was stationed in Jacksonville. His intense discipline and acumen for helping others gain a good physique are what propelled Ashton to become the athlete that he is. From his time at Great Bridge Middle School to Boise State, Harry has always made sure to keep his son grounded and focused.
Now, Ashton has become one of the top running backs in all of the nation due to how he was raised. He could also end up being one of the all-time great rushers once his NFL dreams materialize. All of it started from a good foundation and that was all thanks to the people who raised him, especially his father.
