Last season Akeem Judd served as the primary backup to Jaylen Walton, but Walton is gone now. The stage is set for Judd to take over as the number one back. Unlike Walton, who was a little water bug of a back, Judd has power to go along with his speed. Judd is a bigger back than Walton, at 6’0″ 222 pounds. He has the bulk needed to push the pile in short-yardage situations.

Last season Judd ran the ball 78 times for 425 yards and three touchdowns. With Walton out of the picture, those numbers should only go up next season. The thought of Chad Kelly and Judd running the read option should be a terrifying one for defensive coordinators around the SEC.
