Dylan Edwards

Dylan Edwards arrived at Colorado as part of the 2023 recruiting class. Edwards said a big reason why he picked Colorado was his longtime relationship with Deion Sanders. Coach Prime coached Edwards when he was playing youth football in the Dallas area for years. After decommitting from Notre Dame, Edwards became Coach Prime's first-ever commitment at CU. In high school, Edwards ranked as the No. 11 running back in the country and second-best prospect in Kansas, according to the On3 Industry Raking. During his high school career at Derby (Kansas) High School, Edwards rushed for 6,426 yards and 95 touchdowns. He averaged 10.3 yards per carry and also had 32 100-yard rushing games out of 36 career games played. Edwards also won state championships as a freshman and sophomore and finished runner-up as a junior. Edwards garnered national attention in his first game with the Buffs, racking up 135 yards and three receiving touchdowns in CU's victory over TCU.

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.

Elite / Top 100

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.
