Ohio State star running back Quinshon Judkins is declaring for the NFL Draft after helping lead the Buckeyes to the national title, he told ESPN. Judkins is one of the top running back prospects in the draft class after surpassing 1,000 yards rushing in each of his three collegiate seasons.
With Judkins heading to the draft and fellow star running back TreVeyon Henderson out of eligibility, Ohio State will enter the 2025 season with a revamped backfield. The Buckeyes are also replacing quarterback Will Howard.
Judkins totaled 100 yards rushing and two rushing touchdowns on 11 carries in the Buckeyes’ 34-23 College Footbal Playoff National Championship victory over Notre Dame. He also caught two passes for 21 yards and a touchdown in the victory to cap his lone season at Ohio State with a memorable performance.
He emerged as an unlikely freshman star at Ole Miss in 2022 after registering as just a three-star high school prospect from Pike Road, Alabama. Judkins totaled 1,567 yards and 16 rushing touchdowns that season while earning CBS Sports National Freshman of the Year honors. After two all-SEC seasons with the Rebels, he became one of the top prizes of the 2024 transfer portal cycle.
By choosing Ohio State, he helped bolster the backfield of an already-strong offensive unit as Henderson spurned the 2024 NFL Draft to return for his senior season. Both players surpassed 1,000 yards rushing for the season during the CFP National Championship victory over Notre Dame.
