Kansas State football landed Colorado’s leading rusher from last season, as running back Dylan Edwards committed to the Wildcats on Sunday, a source confirmed to ESPN.
Edwards also appeared to confirm the news, posting a photo of himself in a Kansas State uniform on X.
As a true freshman, Edwards rushed for 321 yards for the Buffaloes in 2023. He also caught 36 passes for 299 yards and four touchdowns.
Three of those receiving touchdowns came in his Colorado debut, when the Buffaloes knocked off TCU 45-42 in the season opener.
Edwards was ranked the No. 140 overall recruit in last year’s class. The Derby, Kansas, native committed to play for both Kansas State and Notre Dame before signing with new Colorado coach Deion Sanders.
Edwards will likely play behind Kansas State running back DJ Giddens, who rushed for 1,226 yards and 10 touchdowns last season, while also giving the Wildcats a proven receiving threat out of the backfield.
Kansas State plays at Colorado on Oct. 12 next season.
247 Sports first reported the news of Edwards’ commitment.
BOULDER, Colo. — Colorado coach Deion Sanders reiterated his commitment to the Buffaloes program after the spring game Saturday, saying he had no plans to leave to follow his sons to the NFL.
Sanders made his comments after his second spring game as Colorado head coach, in which his sons, Shedeur and Shilo, played a handful of series during a one-hour scrimmage on a cold, wet day. Shedeur and Shilo are set to play their final collegiate seasons, with Shedeur projected to be one of the top quarterbacks available in the 2025 NFL draft.
