Former running back for Colorado and Derby, Kans. native, Dylan Edwards is coming home. He announced his commitment to Kansas State following his official visit.
Edwards quickly made an impact as a true freshman, posting over 620 all-purpose yards for Colorado. He led the team in rushing, recording 321 yards on 76 carries.
In his college debut, a win against TCU, Edwards quickly made headlines by scoring three touchdowns on just 5 receptions. That included a 75-yard touchdown in the third quarter.
As many know, it has been quite the recruiting saga for Edwards since his high school recruitment. Edwards verbally committed to K-Staet in the summer of 2022, but backed out a month later. He later announced his plans to commit to Notre Dame, but signed with Colorado later Dean Sanders was hired.

Although Avery Johnson and Dylan Edwards did not attend the same school, the pair had a strong relationship. Now, they will come together to build a lethal offense for the Wildcats. DJ Giddens, who rushed for over 1,000 yards last season, will still be the guy, but there will be plenty of opportunities for Edwards to impact the game.
Edwards is K-State’s first commitment during the spring transfer period, but likely won’t be the last. The Wildcats are expected to be busy in the transfer portal as they look to build a Big 12 contender.
A rising sophomore, Edwards will have three seasons of eligibility at K-State.
