He is now not the handiest one who will now not play, as defensive take care of Mason Graham, cornerback Will Johnson and tight conclude Colston Loveland are all turning their attention to the NFL draft.

That stands in stark disagreement to Edwards, who is now not listed among the many tip 100 total gamers or high eight working backs.
Edwards had excessive expectations coming into the season after he ran for 104 yards and two touchdowns within the Wolverines’ victory over Washington within the national championship recreation closing season.
On the alternative hand, he changed into largely overshadowed by Kalel Mullings within the group’s speeding assault for the length of the 2024 marketing campaign.
Edwards did now not attain the 100-yard be conscious on the bottom in any of the group’s games. What’s extra, he reached the 80-yard be conscious fair twice in contests against Arkansas Affirm and Washington. He posted fair four carries for 11 yards within the derive over Ohio Affirm and wasn’t a predominant part of the offense for extended stretches of Michigan’s most important games.
Restful, he’ll eternally be remembered fondly by Wolverines followers after his contributions to closing season’s national championship flee even supposing he’s now not playing within the bowl recreation against Alabama.
