Branford Edmonds III is a low-minute VMI guard with defensive spark
Edmonds has been a small-sample contributor for VMI, averaging 2.6 points and 1.6 rebounds in 5.4 minutes per game during the 2025-26 season while showing some perimeter touch, hitting 3 of 8 threes and 5 of 10 shots overall.[2][3] His clearest differentiator is disruptive defense: one advanced stat profile credited him with 19.1 steals per 100 possessions, a sign of active hands and impact beyond the box score, though the sample is tiny.[1] For a team, he looks like a high-energy depth guard who can defend and make open shots, but he is still more developmental piece than proven rotation driver right now.[1][2]
