Rebels RB Quinshon Judkins Named First-Team Preseason FBS All-American
In this story:
After a 2022 freshman season that saw him post the Ole Miss single-season records for both rushing yards (1,567) and touchdowns (16), Rebels sophomore running back Quinshon Judkins has been named first-team Preseason FBS All-America by Walter Camp, as announced by the Walter Camp Football Foundation on Friday afternoon.
Judkins joins Michigan senior Blake Corum as the two running backs named to the first team on Friday.
The honors keep rolling in for the 5-11 back from Pike Road, Alabama after a spectacular and historic freshman campaign that saw him named CBS' National Freshman of the Year, On3's Offensive True Freshman of the Year, the SEC Newcomer and SEC Freshman of the Year, as well as first-team Freshman All-American by three different publications.
Last season, Judkins also saw himself ranked nationally in the top 10 in rushing yards (No. 7), rushing touchdowns (No. 10) and total touchdowns with 17 (No. 10).
Judkins ran for 1,567 yards last season, which ranks second ever by an SEC freshman behind only Georgia's Herschel Walker who tallied 1,616 in 1980. Judkins' historic season also ended ranked No. 11 all-time among Power-5 freshmen and was the most since 2017.
Usually announced in early December, the Walter Camp All-America teams are selected by the FBS head coaches and sports information directors.
