Quinshon Judkins isn’t going anywhere. The Ole Miss standout running back announced Thursday that he will be staying in Oxford to play for Lane Kiffin.
In the transfer portal era, it’s never guaranteed that a star player with remaining eligibility will return to the team for next season. Judkins tweeted Thursday that he has re-upped with The Grove Collective for NIL deals at Ole Miss.
“I am thrilled to continue my relationship with The Grove Collective and continue my football career here at Ole Miss. As Coach Kiffin said, we are building something special here and I’m looking forward to competing for championships with the best players in the country for the best fans in the country!
“I want to thank my coaches, teammates, Ole Miss and most importantly my family for all of their support this year. Let’s go Rebel Nation!”

Judkins set the Ole Miss single-season record in both rushing yards (1,476) and rushing touchdowns (16) in 2022. He also leads the SEC and ranks top 10 nationally in total touchdowns (17) and rushing yards per game (123.0). The Rebel freshman won the Conerly Trophy earlier this week and is a finalist for the Shaun Alexander Freshman of the Year award.
