Two-time All-SEC running back Quinshon Judkins committed to Ohio State.

A transfer from Ole Miss, Judkins rushed for 2,725 yards and scored 34 total touchdowns in two seasons with the Rebels.

He'll bring significant punch to an overhauled Ohio State backfield that includes a new starting quarterback and incoming freshman All-American running back James Peoples, who enrolled this semester.

Judkins made the announcement as Michigan was wrapping up the national championship on Monday night, and the motive was clear.

"I'm extremely excited to join The Ohio State football program. I'm looking forward to being a part of a winning culture and helping do my part to beat the TUN and bring a Big 10 Championship and National Championship to Columbus," he said.

Quarterback Will Howard transferred from Kansas State and gives the Buckeyes experience at the controls of the offense.

Kyle McCord started every game for Ohio State in 2023 but transferred to Syracuse at the end of the season.
