Ohio State Buckeyes running back Quinshon Judkins will likely be one of the most explosive options available in the 2025 NFL Draft, and Bleacher Report's Matt Holder has identified a perfect landing spot for the star: the Dallas Cowboys.

The Cowboys are in dire need of a running back, as Dallas' backfield of Rico Dowdle, Ezekiel Elliott and Deuce Vaughn does not exactly inspire a ton of confidence.

As a matter of fact, the Cowboys rank 31st in the NFL in rushing offense this season.

For that reason, Judkins definitely makes sense as a target for Dallas. Of course, the Cowboys' draft position will also play a major role in determining whether or not they can select him.

Through the first five games of 2024, Judkins has rushed for 468 yards and five touchdowns while averaging a robust 7.8 yards per carry.

Judkins began his collegiate career at Ole Miss in 2022 and enjoyed a phenomenal freshman campaign, racking up 1,567 yards and 16 touchdowns while logging 5.7 yards per attempt. He then took a step back the following year in terms of an efficiency perspective, finishing with 1,158 yards and 15 scores on 4.3 yards per tote.

The 20-year-old transferred to Ohio State after last season and seems to have made a sound decision based on his production in the early going.

Judkins shares a dynamic backfield with TreVeyon Henderson and is coming off of a Week 6 performance against the Iowa Hawkeyes in which he carried the ball 13 times for 78 yards.

He has posted a pair of 100-yard outings thus far in 2024, topping out at 173 yards in a Week 3 win over Marshall.
