By now, everyone has heard of the inimitable Quinshon Judkins. Last year, the freshman running back took the entire Southeastern Conference by surprise with his unexpectedly explosive performance.
In 2022, he racked up several honors including SEC freshman of the year, SEC newcomer of the year and CBS National Freshman of the Year. Not many expected this much from a three star Alabama native, but Lane Kiffin did.
Back in December of 2021, Kiffin was photographed sitting alone at a high school football game in Alabama. The Rebels head coach braved the winter weather on metal bleachers to watch Judkins in his high school state championship game.
