Sam Edwards brings veteran leadership and reliable linebacker depth to Michigan State
Edwards is a sixth-year, 6-foot-1, 227-pound linebacker whose biggest value is stability: he’s an active senior captain for Michigan State and is described by the program as a leader on and off the field, with a Campbell Trophy nomination underscoring the character piece. On the field, his 2024 stat line was modest, but his EA SPORTS College Football 26 ratings suggest a solid all-around defender with good awareness, tackling, pursuit and play recognition. He profiles as a tough, trusted fit for a team that wants maturity, communication and dependable special-teams/rotational linebacker help rather than splashy production.[1][3][4][9]
