The national champion Ohio State Buckeyes are losing another key piece to the 2025 NFL Draft. Running back Quinshon Judkins told ESPN’s Pete Thamel is he forgoing his college eligibility and entering the draft.
Judkins took advantage of the later declaration date for players involved in the CFP championship. A transfer from Ole Miss, Judkins topped 1,000 yards–as did backfield mate TreVeyon Henderson. Judkins also hauled in 22 passes.
The well-built back has good vision and balance and projects as a Day 2 pick now that he’s declaring for the 2025 draft.
Ohio State RB Quinshon Judkins is leaving school early and will declare for the NFL draft, he told Pete Thamel. Judkins projects as a top 50 pick, per NFL scouts, and ranks as the No. 5 overall running back in the upcoming draft in Mel Kiper Jr.’s position rankings.
