Nick Saban feels the Crimson missed out by not offering and recruiting former three-star running back and Ole Miss’ freshman star, Quinshon Judkins.

Judkins has burst onto the scene in Oxford. The former Pike Road High School star and Alabama native has 1,036 rushing yards and 13 rushing touchdowns on the season. He leads the SEC in rushing scores.

Saban said it would be great if Judkins was at Alabama during the SEC coaches teleconference Wednesday.

“He’s a good player,” Saban said. “He’s had an outstanding year. He’s had a lot of production. Guy is a really, really good competitor, does a good job of executing the plays they ask him to run. He’s relentless in the way he carries the ball. He’s tough, he runs behind his pads. He can make you miss. He’s got pretty good speed. We looked at him coming out last year. In hindsight, it’d be great if he was on our team.”

Alabama offered and landed Judkins’ teammate, Khurtiss Perry during the 2023 recruiting cycle. The Tide also offered Judkins’ backup and top 2025 running back, Anthony Rogers.
