Overview
- Edwards rushed for 1,240 yards and 15 touchdowns this season and was named Connecticut Offensive Player of the Year by the Walter Camp Football Foundation.
- Converted from defensive back in 2022, he has 2,690 rushing yards and 27 touchdowns and ranks fifth all-time at UConn in both categories.
- He entered the transfer portal after Jim Mora departed for Colorado State and still played in the Fenway Bowl, posting 108 yards and a touchdown against Army.
- Edwards is the 12th transfer addition for Fitzgerald at Michigan State and the second from UConn, joining left tackle Ben Murawski.
- Michigan State seeks a new lead back after Makhi Frazier entered the portal and Elijah Tau-Tolliver exhausted his eligibility, and Edwards follows the UConn-to-Spartans path of Nate Carter, now with the Falcons.
