With the 2025 NFL Draft right around the corner, the Dallas Cowboys continue to be linked to Heisman Trophy runner-up Ashton Jeanty.

The Boise State football star reiterated his comments during an interview while accepting the Doak Walker Award on Friday night.
“I said it before, I’ll sait ir again,” Jeanty said. “I would definitely like to play for the Cowboys. I played in their practice facility in multiple games. I lived in Frisco for a good few years. All my family is still here and it’d just be a special opportunity to play for the Cowboys.”
Jeanty, who played high school in Frisco, Texas, previously said he believes he could be a “hometown hero” if he is drafted by the Cowboys.
He also thinks Dallas could be a “perfect fit” for his talents.
