As a College Recruit

Diminutive playmaker with game-breaking potential. A threat to score anytime he gets the ball in space. Has a smaller build for a running back prospect, checking in at a shade over 5-foot-8, 155 pounds the off-season prior to his senior year. A dominant runner and playmaker at the prep level, rushing for 2,603 yards, and 38 touchdowns while averaging a gaudy 12.5 yards per carry as a junior. Regularly rips off long runs, flashing outstanding burst to go with the speed to pull away once in the open field. Validated his play speed by winning the Fastest Man competition at Under Armour Future 50. Uses his lateral agility to make defenders miss tackles in confined spaces. Also shows good field vision, often cutting back across the field. Makes plays in a variety of ways - as a traditional running back, on end arounds, as a receiver out of the backfield or split out wide. Also dangerous as a kick and punt returner. Does not play top competition in Kansas and is almost always the top athlete on the field. Will need to continue adding mass to sustain a sizable workload at the college level. Can also continue improving his ball skills.

Dylan Edwards is a small, explosive running back who is one of the faster ball carriers in the 2023 cycle. Edwards' size and burst remind us some of Dri Archer.

Dylan Edwards flashes speed at Under Armour Future 50

Charles Power

Kansas State running back commit Dylan Edwards came away as the Fastest Man winner at Under Armour Future 50, edging out Peyton Bowen in what was likely a sub 4.4 second 40-yard dash. Edwards is tiny at a verified 5-foot-8, 155 pounds, but he gets to top speed very quickly.
