MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin — Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, a projected first-round pick in this year's NFL Draft, paid tribute to his military upbringing with a special visit to General Mitchell Air National Guard Base in Milwaukee.
Joined by his father, Harry, who served in the Navy, Jeanty participated in an immersive on-base experience that highlighted his family's military background. The visit included meeting service members, autograph signings, and a simulated flight experience.
