A Rapidly Rising Talent
Edwards has proven himself as one
of the best cornerbacks in his class,
earning offers from schools like
Arizona State, North Texas, UTSA,
Coastal Carolina, Texas A&M,
Lamar, Temple, and Abilene
Christian. His playmaking ability
and athleticism make him a top
target for several programs across the country.
Michigan State’s Offer: A Big Opportunity
The offer from Michigan State places Edwards in the spotlight of one of college football’s top conferences, the
Big Ten. Michigan State has a strong defensive pedigree, and their ability to develop NFL-caliber cornerbacks
makes them an appealing option for Edwards.
A key figure in that development is Michigan State’s secondary coach, Blue Adams, who joined the Spartans’
staff in December 2023. With nearly 15 years of coaching experience, including stints in both college and the
NFL, and his own NFL career, Adams brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to East Lansing. Under his guidance, defensive backs
have thrived, with several players making their way to the NFL. His emphasis on technique and fundamentals
has led to a secondary that plays fast, physical, and aggressive while creating takeaways.
MSU head coach Jonathan Smith, who coached with Adams at Oregon State praised him for his ability to develop defensive backs, saying, “He has coached multiple NFL Draft picks and learned from some of the top coaches in the game. Coach Adams is also
an excellent recruiter and creates strong player relationships.”

The Impact on Michigan State’s Offer
With Michigan State entering the race, Edwards’ recruitment is sure to intensify. The Big Ten’s allure, combined

While he already holds offers from several strong programs, the prestige of Michigan State, along with the
opportunity to develop under a coach like Blue Adams, could prompt Edwards to take a closer look at what the
Spartans have to offer.
As his recruitment unfolds, Edwards will have plenty of options to consider. However, Michigan State’s recent offer could be a pivotal moment in his journey toward finding the best fit for his future in football.
