Ohio State RB Quinshon Judkins selected 36th overall by Cleveland Browns
COLUMBUS — Ohio State running back Quinshon Judkins came to the Columbus to boost his NFL Draft stock, be a part of a two-headed monster in the Buckeyes backfield and and win a national title.
He went 3 for 3 on those goals. And now he has found an NFL home; Judkins was selected by the Cleveland Browns with the 36th pick of the 2025 NFL Draft on Friday night.
Judkins gave the Buckeyes everything they wanted from him. He’s going to be remembered as a national champion forever, especially considering he scored three touchdowns in the national title game win over Notre Dame to cap off a season that saw him carry the ball 194 times for 1,060 yards and 14 touchdowns as well as 22 catches for 161 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns.
He and TreVeyon Henderson formed the best tailback duo in college football this season, both taking turns having huge performances while each topping the 1,000-rushing yard mark for the Buckeyes across 16 games.
