Zach Edwards brings veteran edge-setting grit to WKU

In the 2024 season, Zach Edwards played 12 games for Western Kentucky and posted 11 total tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 2 pass breakups, 2 quarterback hurries, and a fumble recovery[1][9]. The appeal here is his functional, no-nonsense edge presence: he can disrupt just enough in the backfield, hold up as a rotation defender, and flash awareness in coverage for a DE. He’s a transfer-tested veteran with production across Louisville, Troy, and WKU, so he looks like a plug-in depth piece who brings experience, toughness, and steady assignment discipline rather than flashy sack totals[3][8].
