The junior from Miramar, FL has played in 18 games, mostly as a backup and special teams contributor. Edwards broke out during spring ball and appeared to be a strength.
Edwards becomes the second Florida football player to make headlines in a week as freshman QB announced his decision to transfer amid allegations of sexual assault (no charges were filed in that case).
