Judkins rushed for 1,000 yards or more in each of his three college seasons. His first two years were very productive at Ole Miss prior to transferring to Ohio State. Judkins's best year came as a freshman, when he rushed for 1,567 yards and 16 touchdowns in 2022 for the Rebels.

Judkins is expected to be one of the top running backs taken in the draft in April.
