Quinshon Judkins is one of the best running backs in college football. He might also be the best player in EA Sports College Football 25.
Hearkening back to the days of Bo Jackson tearing through defenses in Tecmo Bowl, Judkins’ platinum spin move has gotten a lot of attention from college football personalities and video game content creators since the game’s release, with some even arguing EA Sports needs to implement a patch to nerf his abilities.

Straight up the ability 360 needs patched. Judkins is one of the only players with platinum 360 ability in the whole game. He is practically unstoppable with it. Until then though he is one of the most OP/Cheesy players Ive seen. pic.twitter.com/uNrK4c8CfO
The Best Team in College Football 25 is not Georgia, Alabama, or even Texas. Because of 1 Man & 1 Ability...

You can sit there & know that a Spin or Juke move is coming, and still not stop it

Judkins' spin move became such a source of angst among the competitive gaming community that the Players’ Lounge, an app that allows wagering on video games, banned players from selecting Ohio State as their team in EA Sports College Football 25 unless both parties agree to it beforehand.

Judkins is the second-highest-rated running back in the game with an overall rating of 95. His spin move rating comes in at 93, leaving one to wonder how deadly a ballcarrier with a 99 spin move would be.
Ohio State hopes the real-life version of Judkins will be equally as productive on the field, as the Buckeyes will boast arguably the best one-two running back punch in college football with Judkins and TreVeyon Henderson in the 2024 season.
