Quinshon Judkins opens up about spin move that's dominated EA College Football 25

Ohio State running back Quinshon Judkins is the second-highest-rated player at his position in EA Sports College Football 25.

He’s a fan favorite for gamers, largely because he has a lethal spin move that’s seemingly faster and more fluid than his 89 speed rating.

It might be the most overpowered move in the video game.

But here’s the thing — Judkins himself doesn’t even know how to use it yet.

He admitted he hasn’t played the game much, but he did give the sticks a go Tuesday in the Ohio State locker room.

“I don’t know how to work my spin move yet,” the Ole Miss transfer said. “So I’m trying to learn.”

That started a fun back-and-forth exchange with reporters in the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.

Q: “But have you heard everybody talking about your spin move?”

A: “Yeah, definitely. I’ve heard about it from all my teammates,” Judkins said. “They’re like, ‘Bro, I use you every day,’ and all type of stuff. But it’s been funny, for sure.”

Q: “You’re the only guy that can’t use the spin move?”

A: “I guess so,” Judkins said. “Everybody else know how to use it. I don’t.”

Q: “How would you rate your spin move in real life versus what you’ve heard about it?”

A: “Real life?” Judkins said. “I’d say it’s almost like the game. Close, pretty close.”

Judkins might not be using his spin move in EA College Football 25 yet, but he’s been mashing the metaphorical “B” or “circle” button on the gridiron since his early playing days.

“I’ve been doing that since I’ve grown up,” Judkins said. “I haven’t just recently started playing football. It’s always been in the bag.”

Judkins forced 78 missed tackles on his runs, at least 27 more than every other SEC back, in 2023, according to Pro Football Focus.

The 6-foot, 219-pound Judkins carries the ball with a blend of power and wiggle. He forced five or more missed tackles in eight games last season, per PFF. That included three performances with at least nine missed tackles forced. In Week 13 at Mississippi State, Judkins forced a jaw-dropping and season-high 15 missed tackles, per PFF.

What’s wild is that, the season prior, he forced a career-high 16 missed tackles at Texas A&M, where he ran for 205 yards and a score. So it comes as no surprise that he forced 76 missed tackles during his true freshman campaign, also the most of any SEC running back that season, according to PFF.

But, interestingly enough, maybe nothing has turned heads more than his video game spin move.

“That is insane,” said true freshman Buckeyes running back Sam Williams-Dixon, when asked about Judkins’ animated ankle-breaking move. “I can’t wait to see that in real life. I use him on NCAA, too.”
