In his sole season with the Buffaloes, Edwards led the team with 321 rushing yards and a touchdown on 76 carries. He added 36 catches for 299 receiving yards and four touchdowns.

The rising sophomore has three years of eligibility remaining.

Coming out of high school, Edwards was considered to be a 4-star prospect and the No. 11 running back in the Class of 2023 by 247Sports composite. A Derby, Kansas, native, he was also the No. 2 player in the state.

As a transfer prospect, he was also considered to be a 4-star and the No. 8 running back in the portal by 247Sports.

Edwards was originally committed to Kansas State in 2022 and also committed to Notre Dame before ultimately landing with Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes.

Now joining the Wildcats, Edwards will look to find a bigger role and raise his NFL draft stock. Playing for a pass-heavy team in Colorado, Edwards didn't have many opportunities to showcase his skills, but he made the most of his limited carries and found success through the air as well.

Kansas State is coming off a decent 9-4 season with a Pop-Tart Bowl win over NC State. The Wildcats have a new addition in the backfield and are looking to continue trending upward. Edwards will face his former team in October win Kansas State travels to Boulder.
