University of Mississippi football fans were left distraught when news emerged that Quinshon Judkins, an All-SEC running back, has decided to enter the NCAA transfer portal. According to 247 sports, Judkins had an impressive season with 16 rushing touchdowns and 1,699 all-purpose yards, sparking speculation among Ole Miss supporters.
Some fans have raised concerns about potential foul play, with one questioning if the offers Judkins is receiving are a tactic to disrupt the team’s financial plans. Twitter accounts have also chimed in, suggesting that the situation reeks of tampering and calling on the NCAA to intervene, especially considering Ole Miss’ strong finish and the return of many key offensive players next season.
Ironically, the transfer portal that Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin utilized successfully this season to bring in new talent has now led to the departure of one of the team’s star players. Despite Kiffin’s success in utilizing the portal to achieve an 11-win season, Judkins’ decision to leave demonstrates the unpredictable nature of college football.
As Judkins prepares to leave Ole Miss, speculation abounds about his next destination, with many pointing to the Crimson Tide as a possible landing spot for the Alabama native. The cycle of the transfer portal giving and taking away continues to shape the landscape of college football.
