Quinshon Judkins made a big move in his recruitment.

The three-star 2022 running back out of Pike Road (Ala.) High released a final seven of Auburn, Florida, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ole Miss, Penn State and Yale last week.

For Judkins, the cut came down to which schools he felt fit him best both on and off the field.

“It was great to cut the list down, so I could have a group of schools to focus on,” Judkins said. “I feel like the schools that I put in there fit me best. My parents thought they were great schools and felt like I could have a good future there. I feel like all the schools in my Top 7 would be good decisions for me.”

Michigan put an offer on the table for Judkins more than a year ago. At the time, former position coach Jay Harbaugh evaluated Judkins and decided to jump in the mix early on. However, a lot has changed since then.
