Akeem Judd: running into the spotlight

With four minutes to play in the first half of Ole Miss’s game against Auburn last Saturday, junior running back Akeem Judd took a handoff from Chad Kelly to the left side of the field. Judd lunged forward for about five yards before making a quick jump cut to the right, and with a burst of speed he took it 25 yards into the end zone, tying the game at 10.

It was a crucial moment in a game the Rebels would win. In that moment, the junior from Raleigh, North Carolina came into the spotlight, and he may be here to stay.
