He visited the Seminoles earlier this month and had high praise for the program.
“The game was good. This was the first home game I went to, but the third time I’ve seen them play,” Edwards told Warchant.com. “I think what really sticks out is people never thought they’d be this successful. I think people didn’t know they were working hard over the summer, and it’s all paying off.”
Ole Miss, meanwhile, hosted him for the Georgia Tech game in September, and he has developed a strong relationship with the staff in Oxford.
“I have a good relationship with Coach Golding from his time at Alabama and coach (Enrique) Davis from his time at WKU so it felt very familiar because we are well acquainted,” Edwards told OMSpirit. “I also spoke with coach (Randall) Joyner.”
With the Buffs, the charge is led by defensive line coach Nick Williams, who is looking to upgrade the defensive front in a big way. CU already has commitments along the line from four-stars Brandon Davis-Swain and Amontrae Bradford, as well as three-stars Eric Brantley Jr. and Omar White.
