Ohio State junior running back Quinshon Judkins is declaring for the 2025 NFL Draft. He is the first Buckeye underclassman to declare for the 2025 NFL Draft.
Judkins led the Buckeyes with 1,060 yards rushing on 194 carries this season. His 14 touchdowns also led the team. Judkins also caught 22 passes for 161 yards and two touchdowns. His second receiving score of the season came in the 34-23 win over Notre Dame in the College Football National Championship Game.
Judkins transferred to Ohio State this season after two very productive years at Ole Miss. As a true freshman in 2022, he rushed for 1,565 yards and 16 touchdowns. In 2023 as a sophomore, he rushed for 1,158 yards and 15 touchdowns.

Judkins projects as one of the top backs in the draft, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he will be a first- or second-round pick.
Teammate TreVeyon Henderson, who rushed for 1,016 yards and 10 touchdowns this season will also be part of the NFL Draft.
The 2025 NFL Draft takes place April 24-26 in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
