Ohio State football had a slew of transfer players make an immediate impact on its national championship-winning team, and former Ole Miss running back Quinshon Judkins was among them.
Prior to joining the Buckeyes, Judkins ended his second season with the Rebels at 1,158 yards and an SEC-high 15 rushing touchdowns.
He went for 1,060 yards and 14 touchdowns in his junior season, helping the Buckeyes win four postseason games and eventually be crowned NCAA champions. Judkins and TreVeyon Henderson were a dynamic one-two punch in the backfield.
That said, now, the star is heading for the NFL, he announced recently on Instagram.

Where Judkins will be drafted is an entirely different discussion, but he should be taken within the weekend-long event.
With over 1,000 yards in each of his collegiate seasons, he’s shown an ability to both stay on the field and play at an ultra-high level. He also had 59 receptions throughout his three seasons, two at Ole Miss and one with Ohio State.
The dual-threat weapon is unlikely to be a first-round pick but could fall anywhere between the third and fifth rounds as he sits as the No. 5 back in Mel Kiper Jr.’s position rankings per On3.
